    Task Scheduler is running script On workstation unlock and At log on..


    I have a task scheduled to play a sound when I unlock my computer, but after a restart or boot it also plays at log on. How do I make Task Scheduler stop running this script 'at log on'?

    :)

    Scheduler: workstation unlock


    I have this small thing that I want to do: When my laptop resumes sleep/hibernate I want to run a small script (.bat) that requires to be run as administrator.

    I have created a Task on Scheduler.
    • Under General tab I've been experimented with all the options.
    • On Triggers tab I've used "logon" and "startup" which have succeded but are useless to me; so the only active I have now is "workstation unlock".
    • Actions: start a program
    So, while my task is able to start on logon and startup why can't it start on workstation unlock?

    • Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.

    Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

    Please post your current version of the script.

    Note also that I'll be off the air for a whole week, starting this coming Sunday evening. With your response cycle of one reply per day, you are unlikely to solve your problem anytime soon. This is aggravated by you consistenly posting insufficient information
    (e.g. repeatedly not posting your script, not posting numbers of problem lines, taking numerous attempts to post the exported xml file etc. etc.). You need to remember that respondents cannot see your screen.

    Lastly - you are trying to use the Task Scheduler to launch a script to open an Excel file to launch a macro. This is an extremely ambitious task. It is also not a good way to do things. A script can do everything that a macro can, and more, but more simply.
    Forget about the macro. Here are the steps you should take:

    • Get my script going in the foreground.
    • Get it going while scheduled.
    • Write a script that opens an Excel file.
    • Run it in the foreground.
    • Run it in the background.
    • Expand it to manipulate the spreadsheet.
    • Run it in the foreground
    • Run it in the background.
