Windows 10: Task Scheduler - Batch File

I am attempting to use Task Scheduler to run a batch file automatically every day. I am following instructions that I found on the Web. As far as I can tell I have set up Task Scheduler correctly, the only problem being that it doesn't run! I have uploaded screenshots of the properties that have been set up in the hope that these will assist someone in troubleshooting the problem, although I have no clue where they uploaded to!

Task Scheduler Batch file

Hi all,

Looking for some help.Im creating a batch file to run for different users to add a scheduled task. HOWEVER - the whole thing works great and has done for some time.But after i run the batch file on each machine (different users) i have to go into the security options and change the user the task runs in to the unique user of that machine. Is there a way to use the batch file to pull the account name of the machine (or computer name) and use that as the user the task runs in?


Thanks =)

 

task scheduler & batch files

The Task scheduler is at C:\Windows\System32\taskschd.msc and a shortcut to it is also shown in Start menu, Windows administrative tools.

Since you are going on to consider running batch files using Task scheduler, have a look at

Make Windows 10 Task scheduler run a batch file minimised and with a specific icon - Forum article

Task Scheduler Batch file

if you launch a batch file as any user it will launch in that users account.

Create a batch that runs "dir" command and outputs it to a text file, that will be in said users account, and if it exists already it just reads the username from teh text file.

I will tell you what you need to know, but I'm not doing it for you.
