    Task Scheduler - Windows 10


    I am working with the task scheduler in Windows 10, to launch shutdown.exe after two hours of idle time. I have it set up and it works for 10 minutes which I tested this first. I changed the time to two hours, and it still acts like it is set to 10 minutes. Any ideas? I have already deleted and recreated the task multiple times with no luck.

    :)

    Task Scheduler - Windows 10

    Unable to run Task Scheduler

    Hello Varun,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

    • Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to this?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Can you also please confirm the current build of your Windows 10?

      (Type winver into the Cortana search box, then hit
      Enter      .)

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you try starting the Task Scheduler through command line. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type this net start task scheduler and hit Enter.

    We're looking forward to your response.
