    Task Scheduler - On Idle


    I have a script I created to run after the PC has been idle for one hour. It seems as though no matter what terms I define for trigger conditions, it will run after 10 minutes. 10 minutes is not a condition I have defined anywhere in the Task Scheduler. Is there an actual option here or is it sneakily nonexistent like so many other Windows 10 "features"?

    :)

    Task Scheduler Idle Trigger and two Start a Program Actions simultaneously

    Hi DavidRohweder,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you are trying to use Task Scheduler to run two batch files on the idle mode trigger. Suggest you to refer to this article to check if that makes any difference.

    ‘Task Idle Conditions’.

    Further, I would suggest you to post your question in the TechNet
    Forums     where we have support professionals who are well-equipped with the knowledge to handle queries regarding Task Scheduler.

    Regards,
