Activate scheduled command task in Windows 10 using Task Scheduler.
To activate a scheduled command task in Windows 10 using Task Scheduler, follow these steps:
- Open Task Scheduler: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "taskschd.msc" and press Enter to open Task Scheduler.
- Find the scheduled task: In the Task Scheduler window, navigate to the folder where your scheduled task is located. You can use the search function to find it by typing the name of the task in the search box at the top right corner of the window.
- Edit the scheduled task: Right-click on the scheduled task and select "Properties" from the context menu.
- Go to the "Triggers" tab: In the Properties window, go to the "Triggers" tab to view the schedule settings for the task.
- Modify the schedule settings: If the task is currently not set to run, you can modify the schedule settings to make it run at a specific time or event. To do this, click on the "New" button to create a new trigger, and then select the type of trigger you want to use (e.g., "At log on", "At startup", "Daily", "Weekly", "Monthly", or "Once a year"). Set the specific schedule settings for the trigger, such as the start time or the days of the week.
- Go to the "Actions" tab: In the Properties window, go to the "Actions" tab to view the commands that will be run when the task is triggered.
- Modify the command settings: If the command settings need to be modified, you can do so by clicking on the "Edit" button next to the action that you want to modify. In the "Create New" or "Edit Action" window, modify the "Program/script" field to the path of the command or script that you want to run, and modify any other settings as needed.
- Save the changes: Click "OK" to save the changes to the scheduled task.
- Test the scheduled task: To test the scheduled task, you can manually run it by right-clicking on it in the Task Scheduler window and selecting "Run". Alternatively, you can wait for the scheduled time or event to trigger the task automatically.
By following these steps, you should be able to activate a scheduled command task in Windows 10 using Task Scheduler.
