Windows 10: How can I start a task schedule from another application starting?

Hi, I can't seem to find a useful tip to help me resolve my problem. For example, I want to trigger an event start specific program with Task Scheduler only when another program is starting or is started. Can anyone help?Thanks!-Zack

Task Scheduler service will not start.

Thank you for updating us. If Task Scheduler will not start, we suggest that you restart it. The service might be disabled that's why the task will not run. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot Task Scheduler.

• Click Start menu.
• Type Services in the Start Search box.
• Right-Click Services, and select Run as Administrator.
• If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click
  Continue.
• Right-click the Task Scheduler Service and select Restart.

And have you tried running the System File Checker scan as an Administrator. For more information check this
article. You can also perform DISM after performing SFC.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

ok, first, Restart is grayed out when i try to right click, only start is available. every time i select that i get the same "The Task Scheduler Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some
services stop automatically if not in use by other services or programs" message.

already tried SFC before asking, did not work. tried DISM, and that solved nothing.

Hi,

We would like to ask a few questions in order for us to properly address your issue with the Task Scheduler service not starting.

• Did you make any changes or updates to your computer prior to this?
• What is the exact error message you are receiving when starting the Task Scheduler service?
• Have you tried opening the Task Scheduler as an Administrator or choosing it as "Run as Administrator"?

Looking forward to your response.
