Windows 10: Task Manager - Job will not run if not logged on

I hae a batch run scheduled in Task Manager. The job always ran in Windows 10. It won't run in Windows 11.The task is run under the Admin account, and the password is stored.If I click "only run if user is logged on", while I am logged on, it runs.If I click "Run even if user is not logged on, it runs forever, but doesn't do anything.I've tried putting the commands in the task itself, but that made no differance.I've tried running the command with only the MSpaint command and no path, but that doesn't work eitherThe admin account has batch permissions.Thanks!

Allowing Local Standard Account Log On As Batch Job Rights

Hi das10 and thanks for the response.

This was my concern that there might be security implications.

So, this was what I did step by step to get to this point:

1. created a task using the information from this link:
How to change the Windows Defender update frequency

2. the task ran successfully but the command prompt window was open as mentioned

At this point the only change I made was to switch in the task from "Run only when user is logged on" to "Run whether user is logged on or not". It was at this time that I was asked for a password, received an error message about rights and batch jobs.

3. I then logged in to the admin account and changed the setting in GPE based on the information here:
Log on as Batch Job Rights for Task Scheduler — danblee.com

I did not set "Run with highest privileges" either in the initial task or after changing the GPE setting.

The task runs as I wanted it to but as you pointed out there may be security implications.

This is a personal/work computer and nobody else has access to it (if that makes a difference).

Are you suggesting I undo the changes to GPE?

Thanks!

 

Task Manager not running


I have added a new task to the ones already populated which I suppose were in Win7
The new task or the present tasks are not running as there is no entry in the history or
recently run file
are there other steps necessary to get the new task manager to start up ?

 

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
