Windows 10: Why is changing to Schtasks onstart in place of onlogon not working

Why is changing to Schtasks onstart in place of onlogon not working. The schtasks is copying some folders and files from D:\APP to Z:\
(tcc.exe just a better duplicate of cmd.exe and put in z: drive) :

Code: schtasks /create /sc onlogon /tn Desktop/tr "cmd /c cd/d D:\APP&copy/y TCC z:&tcc/c 'copy/u/s TCC z:\&copy/s/y Notepp z:\Notepp&copy/md/y RegWorks z:\RegWorks\&c:\windows\ explorer d:'"/f[/quote] I'm sure others will not work too.. Thanks in advance

Windows 10 and parallel port (LPT) printer doesn't print

Hello all,

at least on some computers, execution of the script via scheduled task does not seem to work at first glance. It seems that if the script is executed immediately after logon, it sometimes does not have the desired effect.

Therefore, I'd recommend adding a delay to the commandline which creates the scheduled task:

schtasks /create /tn "Fix Printer" /tr C:\lpt\fixlpt.cmd /sc ONLOGON /ru SYSTEM
/delay 1:00

This adds a delay of 1 minute before executing the task which apparently is sufficient.

Kind regards,



(for some reason, the Format drop-down does not work any more. Does anyone else also experience that?)

 

Can't type anything in Win 10 Apps (Cortana, Search, Calculator, Feedback, etc.)

Open Command Prompt (As Admin). And types:

schtasks /change /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework\MsCtfMonitor" /Enable

schtasks /run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework\MsCtfMonitor"

 

Not done any scheduled task management for "a While", so cannot help with specifics but for this scenario I would suspect that either some process or resource that is needed is not there until a user is logged on.

Is Z: a network drive? is it mapped by a specific user?

Another could be permissions based where the permissions are heavily "tied down" but assuming that Scheduled tasks onStart runs with System credentials should not be a problem, unless Z: is remote and System is not given any permissions

 

Z: just a RAM disk
I get it , i already suspected too the phase is to earlier to perform FS operation eg. copying..
