Windows 10: Task Scheduler: is there a way to set a visual-color-based trigger for an AutoHotkey Macro?

Hi allSo in essence, I am trying to create an automated routine, where my computer engages monochrome mode Ctrl+Win+C every 30 minutes. I have partially achieved this in that I have created an AutoHotkey script which sends Control+Windows+C, when called by a Task Scheduler Basic Task. The trigger for the task, is the unlocking of the laptop/workstation. The Task itself is set to then run on repeat every 30 minutes. The limitation is that hitting Control+Windows+C every 30 minutes merely toggles the setting and so, it will send the screen back to color every 1hr, as much as it sends it to mon

task scheduler trigger time

The problem persists. there is no way, I have found, to set the task schedule trigger to a time in the pm (eg 7:30pm or 19:30)

Hence the task is triggered during the normal working day.

In windows 10 this was possible.

Any ideas please?

 

Task Scheduler: task gets triggered by event but does not start

I know a thing or two about the Task Scheduer but so far I am unable to wrap my mind around your problem. Here is why:

• I do not recognise the screen snapshot your posted. What is it?
• What event is supposed to trigger the scheduled task?
• What is the scheduled task supposed to run?
• You write "there is the initial event 108 showing the event getting triggered". How can an event trigger another event?
• Do time-triggered tasks work reliably?

 

Windows Defender Task Schedule/Triggers

[Moved from Windows 10]

Hi everyone. Im having a problem with windows defender task schedule. I have set triggers for the 4 processes under windows defender in task schedule, and then I deleted the triggers. What I noticed the next day is: windows defender performed a scheduled
scan twice. The first time at 8:30 AM. When I checked task schedule after the first scan only the scheduled scan was completed. The other 3 processes which includes (windows defender cache maintenance, windows defender cleanup and windows defender verification)
did not start as yet. Then after about 2 hours I checked windows defender and it says: last scan: Today at 11:30 AM. I was confused because it already performed a scan today. So I went and checked task schedule and saw that all 4 processes were completed at
11:30 AM. So why did It perform the first scan any way? Do you think the trigger I created and then deleted corrupted some of the files there? Or is this behavior normal? Also before I created the triggers for all 4 processes I saw that there were no authors
listed for them. Since I created the triggers I noticed my username and CPU name would show up under author for each process. Now that I deleted all 4 triggers I still see my username and CPU name listed for each process. Is this normal?
