Cause

The issue is caused by a timing issue between the service window manager and the execution manager. Both the service window manager and the execution manager start when the client computer wakes up within the maintenance window. In this situation, the service window manager posts a service window start event. Because of the timing issue, the execution manager is in its initialization process and misses the service window manager event. Therefore, the advertisement is not scheduled to run within the maintenance window.
