    App Runs Properly but Win10Pro Task Scheduler Cannot Run It


    We have a requirement for extremely accurate computer clock time and use a small app that that, when launched, checks with a pool of time servers and syncs our computer clock. We want to schedule this app to run every couple of hours.


    The app runs properly when I launch it manually. I created a task in Task Scheduler to do this automatically every two hours and, when I manually run the task within Task Scheduler, it also runs properly. However, it will not run on on its own on a schedule. Task Scheduler fails to launch it.


    On a different computer, another app is able to launch it when that app is launched but, again, Task Scheduler fails to launch it on a schedule.


    The task is configured in Task Scheduler as follows:

    GENERAL

    • When running the task, use the following user account: it's my own account, and I am an Administrator on the computer
    • Run only when user is logged on
    • Run with highest privileges
    • Configure for Windows 10

    TRIGGERS

    • Trigger: At task creation/modification
    • Repeat every 2 hours for a duration of indefinitely
    • Enabled

    ACTIONS

    • Start a program "path...\SysTimeUpdate.exe" min 'min' being an argument

    CONDITIONS

    • none - no conditions

    SETTINGS

    • Allow task to be run on demand
    • Run task as soon as possible after a schedules start is missed
    • Stop the task if it runs longer than 1 hour
    • If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop
    • If the task is already running, then the following rule applies - Stop the existing instance


    Someone suggested that my Administrator account may not have full privileges, and it may be a permissions issue but, if so, why can I launch it manually and why can another app launch it when that app is launched but Task Scheduler cannot? This very very baffling, and any assistance would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    :)

    Window's Task Scheduler Not Running

    Hi,

    To assist you better, kindly provide us more details by answering the following questions:

    • Have you tried recreating the task? If so, are you getting the same issue?
    • Have you tried creating a new task?
    Meanwhile, we suggest that you ensure that the Task Scheduler is running. You can verify if the service is running by following these steps:

    • Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
    • Type services.msc and hit Enter.
    • Under Services (Local), make sure that the Task Scheduler service's status is
      Started or Enabled.
    Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.

    Follow-up with Additional Info...

    I should have mentioned that Task Scheduler launches tasks that do not need Admin permissions, such as Notepad, for example; so, I am pretty sure that the problem lies with permissions even though I have entered my own account to run this task: PAUL-17AE108CA\Paul,
    where PAUL-17AE108CA is the computer name.
