    Information The Task Scheduler enables you to automatically perform routine tasks on a chosen computer. The Task Scheduler does this by monitoring whatever criteria you choose to initiate the tasks (referred to as triggers) and then executing the tasks when the criteria is met.

    You can import an exported task, which will add the imported task to a task folder and allow you to use and run the task. A task's properties, triggers, actions, conditions, and settings are represented in an XML file.

    This tutorial will show how to import a task to Task Scheduler from an exported task .xml file in Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.

    Task Scheduler of Windows 10 has some new features *not*

    Task scheduler will no longer find executables which are located in user path.

    -> Robust coding of scheduled tasks or scripts requires fully qualified paths for anything other than native system files.

    Task Scheduler does not accept spaces for expression to start ("hello 1.txt" won't work). Instead Task Scheduler tries to edit "hello.txt".

    -> Again, for robust coding, I would always specify the executable instead of relying on file associations.

    Tasks exported with Windows 7 compatibility cannot be imported in Windows 7.


    -> Why can't you import the task? Or are you saying that the imported task fails to work?

    I exported my Windows 10 task (which was configured for Windows 7 and Server 2008) and imported it into Windows 7. It worked perfectly.
