Windows 10: whenever task scheduler tries it windows gets confused and asks how to run an exe file.

How to run an EXE within Task Scheduler on Windows 10?

I have an Application, an EXE, that would close a single window of File Explorer every time it runs, however, setting Task Scheduler to run it, it does not run, It remains within "Running" indefinitely without actually running the exe.

A solution is to set the task to "Run only when user is logged on", however this creates command prompt windows, which are unoptimal.

Suggestions to solve this issue are needed, thanks in advance.

Hello,

I would like to schedule a task to run an .exe file daily, the .exe file is generated by python scripts

after opening the Task scheduler,

in General tab: Run whether user is logged on or not (checked)

Run with hightest pivileges (checked)

Configure for Windows 10

in Trigger tab: I chose the right time

in Action tab: I typed in C:\Users\Lawrence\Dropbox\test.exe in program/script

in Conditions tab and Settings tab: I chose the right checkboxes as I have run some tasks before

I dont' know how should I set the setting in Action tab. Any thoughts? thank you very much.
