AWS Win Tasks arent running after server restart via Lambda

I have coded a simple task scedule that turns the AWS Windows server off and a simple Lambda code to turn the stopped instaces on, see code:

import time  import json  import boto3      def lambda_handler(event, context):      # boto3 client      client = boto3.client('ec2')      ssm = boto3.client('ssm')        # getting instance information      describeInstance = client.describe_instances()      #print("eddie", describeInstance["Reservations"][0]["Instances"][0]["State"]["Name"])        InstanceId = []      # fetchin instance id of the running instances      for i in describeInstance['Reservations']:          for instance in i['Instances']:              if instance["State"]["Name"] == "stopped":                  InstanceId.append(instance['InstanceId'])          client.start_instances(InstanceIds=InstanceId)        """looping through instance ids      for instanceid in InstanceId:          # command to be executed on instance          client.start_instances(InstanceIds=InstanceId)          print(output)"""        return {          'statusCode': 200,          'body': json.dumps('Thanks from Srce Cde!')      }  

I have several tasks on my task scheduler that run Python scripts but after the activation those tasks arent running even when the server in running.

Note, I have tried to set "run whether logged on or not" on all of them but recived (0x1) errors related to privileges on those tasks

Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there any other way to turn off and on EC2 AWS win server in night time to save on billing

Thanks a million for the helpers

Thanks, Eddie Abramov
