Windows 10: Debugging task scheduler task.

Windows 10 Pro 64, current as of this post.

I have been using Mailstore Home portable for many years. I have a shortcut that runs an archive.

I recently discovered my 91 year old father had accidentally deleted important business emails on several occasions and I want to use Mailstore to automatically archive his emails outside of Outlook (Office 365). But when I try to set something up in task manager on his PC, nothing happens when the task is run. Below are pictures of the shortcut that works on his PC and what I defined for a scheduled task, I want to run automatically several times a day. I haven't used task scheduler but don't see anything I did wrong in the definition. The picture of the shortcut doesn't show the start of the target field but the rest is the same folder in the Start in field.

I'm not including pictures of other Task Scheduler fields but the same task runs fine if I just put the name of another program as the action. FWIW, the Mailstore command line switches are not documented. The program (Mailstore) has an option to create a shortcut to archive and that's what it generates.

Anyone see a mistake I made or know how I can debug this problem?
