Select System Settings, then turn off Blocking Mode (under the Device heading). You (or someone!) might have accidentally pressed that button when scrolling down the list. You could go into it first and confirm that the 'set time' is 19:30; if not then the problem is something else.

See the USB access from guest in Hyper-V question on ServerFault — in short, Hyper-V does not provide any way to access host USB ports from guests. There are some workarounds — mostly “USB over Ethernet” solutions.
Another option which could work for some use cases is to enable Wireless ADB on the devices, and then access them via the network.

If your device is rooted, Tasker can do that (there's a free trial available at their website for you to check first). While you don't need to boot your device daily (I don't boot it more often than once a month usually, if at all), I also thought about a weekly reboot on a device having problems otherwise (my old Wildfire started behaving oddly with calls ...

This way you save some juice by not ...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is SL4A, the Scripting Layer for Android. This allows you run various types of scripts on your phone, Python scripts being one of them.

At the time of this writing, there are apparently issues with the Periodic Timer trigger. (According to this forum post) Using the Period Timer (Inexact) trigger instead works, but is still not very consistent. (Which, yes, I realize is not to be expected since "Inexact" is in the title of the trigger)

You must enter the time. For example, if you want it to be every 5 seconds you need to write "5s".

For newer phones, you can use Automagic, which has almost all of the functionality of Tasker (at the time of this writing, and expanding) and has a much better interface for editing your sequences. It also makes use of the newer Holo themes on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and later.
