Hello everybody!!
Until about 2 months ago I had a task that was carried out perfectly when I got home and connected to wifi (automatic connection). But in the meantime, from then on it stopped performing that task and I check the following: I turn on the screen, without unlocking, and I see that it is connected to wifi, but it has not yet performed the task, nor will it do so until I unlock the phone. Then everything works!!
Can anyone give a tip to try to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance.

Hi there.
To make sure Tasker and the AutoApps run in the foreground please check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00

Pay special attention to the location part. If Tasker doesn't have permission to get location in the background it might not work correctly, so disable and re-enable the location permission and make sure that you allow Tasker to always access it.

Make sure to check here too: https://dontkillmyapp.com/?app=Tasker

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your contact.

Hi João!! 
Thank you for your availability, but unfortunately I can't find any problem related to the alerts you suggest. I don't know what else to do, but a little curiosity: at around the same time, Google Assistant stopped recognizing the ok google command (in Portuguese-PT), and I discovered that with the charger connected and charging it works. Could it be something related in both cases, or do you suggest anything else to try?!!

Yeah, seems like somehow your device is not allowing apps to run freely :( Not sure what the issue could be, sorry!
