  1. Start a Macro at certain times without having to keep the computer running


    So, I want to run a Macro daily at 3:00 while I sleep. It takes a while to run and I dont want it blocking me while I am using my pc regulary. How is the best way to go about this? I know you can turn your pc on from your Motherboards BIOS, but that would still require me to put in my passcode, as the Macro can only be started on the desktop. Any Ideas?

    :)

  2. Ez Macros or any other Macro program

    Hi Brian,

    The issue is quite unclear and too broad for us to distinguish the main reason why you are having challenges/issues in Macro. To have a better understanding of your concern, we'd like to ask you some questions:

    • Are you referring on using macros on Excel? If yes, what is the version of your Office?
    • What exact application are you using when using macros? Where did you download it?
    • What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Did you receive any error message?

    Your response will be much appreciated.

  3. Macro Express fail

    Does anyone else have a problem with Macro Express + Windows 10? Downloaded latest version (3.10.0.1) of ME but it is greyed out in the hidden icons box and although it will open (double-click), the macros will not run. My suspicion is that I need to tell
    Win10 that the program is acceptable, but I don't know how to do this. It also appears in the apps list on the start list but will not open from there.

  4. Start a Macro at certain times without having to keep the computer running

    Mouse and keyboard center macros take ages for first run

    Hi David,



    I understand your concern, I’ll be glad to assists you. I suggest you to clear the
    FilterKeys and check if it helps.

    • Type Ease of Access Center in the search box.
    • Select make the keyboard easier to use.
    • Click to clear Turn on Filter Keys, or adjust the settings to a quicker rate.
    • Close the Window.


    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to remove and re add the macros.
