Windows 10: 2147942416 message code running task scheduler

Hi community,


I am scheduling a task that runs a CMD file. The file renames some files, adds the "Read only" attribute and moves them to a different folder.

When I run the CMD file outside the task scheduler by double clicking it, it works perfectly.

When I run the scheduled task manually, I get the following message translated from Spanish:


- Task manager finished correctly the task "\Mover a seguro", instance {a lot of numbers and letters}, action "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe" with the return code 2147942416.


General configuration:

· Use this account: local administrator

· Run whether the user is logged in or not

· Run with highest privileges I also tried unchecking this one

· Configure for Windows 10


Actions:

· Run a program: C:\Script.cmd I also tried with C:\Script\Script.cmd


Can you tell me why the task doesn't run correctly?


Thanks!

:)

Task Scheduler and Bat File Problem


In Task Scheduler Enable All Tasks History
Run the scheduled task
Refresh, and look at the History tab for that task.
Look at each entry in history and see if you can find an error message/code for any step in the task run.
