Create a scheduled task with PowerShell

Hello Microsoft team,

I would like to create a scheduled task to restart PC on a daily basis. This would be run on a multiple devices running Windows 10.

I think it's pretty handy to have it as a script via PowerShell ISE so I don't have to always create a tasks in all devices separately.

Could you please give me a hand with it?

Tasks still show in Task Scheduler despite being deleted

The OP has not mentioned deleting any program files.
The folder identified by the OP contains Task scheduler task definitions and nothing else.

I am not trying to suggest that the method the OP used is a good one.
