  1. Stop program after x hours


    I'm trying to set up a scheduled program that would start once every day at certain hour and then stop after 8 hours. I've created a daily task for the startup and then a seperate task that stops the program via batch file /taskkill but the program starts again immediately after it stops it should wait for 16 hours before it starts again.What would be a proper way of doing this?Thank you!

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    I see that you are getting this message
    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    when you are trying to launch a game. This might be due to the corrupt display drivers.

    Please answer the below questions to assist you better.

    1. Does this issue occur to this particular game?

    2. What is the make and model of the computer?

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps,

    I suggest you to uninstall the Display Adapter drivers from Device manager and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps for the same.

    • Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand ‘Display Adapters’.
    • Right-click on the Display Adapter listed and click on ‘Uninstall’.
    • Install the latest driver from the manufacturer website.
    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the update.

    As per the description, Adobe Acrobat Standard X is not listed as a default app but it pops up listed as a "desktop app".

    To do so follow the below steps.

    1. Press Windows + R, type appwiz.cpl

    If the application is not present in the Programs & Features
    then Suggest you to download the app from the link.
