Trying to create an alarm of sorts.
Task runs fine, computer wakes up from sleep fine, but the screen's black till there's user input. Anyway I can get the screen to light up upon waking?

Essentially you have to create an artificial user input, here was my solution to this problem. http://www.jholu.com/2012/11/18/schedule-mouse-clicks-with-task-scheduler/
This way the monitor wakes up because there is a setting in Intel graphics or maybe even other that require user input to wake the screen.

@YumYumYum: The files from the developer's site are clean. Read this for info about false positives. Regarding the command, there are lots of examples on the first page I linked to above, but by your edit I see you managed to figure it out.
