Windows 10: Task Scheduler - Create task to stop another task Windows 10

I have created a task in Task Scheduler in Windows that runs a small batch file at log on and re-runs every 10 minutes. This works fine as intended. But, now I want to setup this task to stop running when computer is idle for more than 30 minutes. In task configuration page I can find condition that only allows to start a program when idle, but I cannot find the option to stop when idle.

How do I create a task that starts to runs the batch file at logon every 10 minutes and stops if the computer is idle for more than 30 minutes.

Any solution is appreciated.

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 =)
