    dir command from Task Scheduler returns entire registry


    A batch file contains the line:dir c:\ /s /a-h-s >listing.txtas part of an indexing routine. This line of the batch takes about two minutes and returns a textfile of about 150 mb. After I was satisfied that the routine was ready to go, I created a task in Task Scheduler to run the batch file, only to find the next morning that the output text file was about 2.7 gb, most of which were registry entries, not normal files, and it had taken about three and a half hours to run.The dir command is not complicated, what am I doing wrong?

    :)

    Hello Banjopolo,

    Disclaimer: The steps below includes system registry modification. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection,
    back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Make sure to backup registry first, please refer to this support article:
    How to back up the registry in Windows. Please follow the steps below:

    1. Click on Start > type regedit and press
      Enter.
    2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule
    3. Find the DWORD called start, change its value to 2.
    4. Save the changes and then exit out of the registry editor. Reboot you PC.

    If the issue still persists, I recommend that you follow the steps in this

    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.
