    How to launch a program from a .bat file that doesn't launch


    Hello!I am trying to run a program from a .bat file that resides on my desktop so that when I start my computer the program launches automatically. After the computer boots up, from being off, a tiny icon of the program I wish to launch shows up in the system tray. When I hover over the icon, in the system tray, with my cursor, the icon disappears. I am able to launch other programs from within that .bat file so I know that the .bat file is configured properly. What am I missing here :?ThanksScott

    :)

    Scheduled Task Won't Launch Program with .bat File

    I wrote a couple simple bat files to both shut down and launch Adobe Media Encoder on a Windows 10 machine. When I double click on them, both launch and execute flawlessly. However when I schedule a task and click to run them from the scheduled task, the
    status just shows as "Running" but nothing happens. When I go into processes I can see Adobe Media Encoder, but the initial launch screen never comes up much less the program opens. I've also noticed that when I launch from the bat file itself, Adobe ME
    shows up under APPS in task manager, but when I run from the scheduled task it shows up in background processes along with two other Adobe processes that when launched from the bat show up under Adobe Media Encoder CC2018:

    I've tried the options I've seen on several forums such as having the task run cmd prompt with the argument being the bat and run from the containing folder. I've enabled full permissions on the folder with the bat for all users. It's run under the local
    admin account to that machine, run with highest privileges. Any other ideas?

    Scheduled Task Won't Launch Program with .bat File

    It's set to trigger the bat to open the program every morning at 2:20 a.m., and the one that closes it every night at 11:30 p.m.

    But I have been just trying to run the task manually from task scheduler to test it and it doesn't open the program, even though double clicking the bat to launch manually it does open.

    The action is to start a program "C:\Media Encoder BATS\ADOBE_ME_START.bat" and the other is "C:\Media Encoder BATS\ADOBE_ME_CLOSE.bat"

    Script of start bat is:

    @Echo off

    start "Adobe Media Encoder" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018\Adobe Media Encoder.exe"
