Windows 10: Windows task scheduler not running automatically at schedule time.

Hi


I am creating windows task scheduler using windows forms app in c# and library i used is Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.


Task is getting created successfully and account to execute this task is NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.


But, task does not run automatically at scheduled timings. Once scheduled timing is passed next run is updated with new time but last run still shows 11/30/1991 12:00:00 AM which is default timing. Also, Last run result shows "The task has not run yet0x41303".


Operating system i am using is windows 10 but this windows forms app will be installed on OS Windows XP and later versions.


Below is the code snippet i am using to create scheduler.


Why is scheduler not running automatically. How to troubleshoot the issue?




var ts = new TaskService;var td = ts.NewTask;td.RegistrationInfo.Author = "My company";td.RegistrationInfo.Description = "Runs test application";var trigger = new WeeklyTrigger { StartBoundary = startDate, DaysOfWeek = daysOfWeek, Enabled = enabled };trigger.Repetition.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSecondsminutes == 0 ? 60 : minutes * 60;td.Triggers.Addtrigger;var action = new ExecActionAssembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location, null, null;if filePath != string.Empty && File.ExistsfilePath{ action = new ExecActionfilePath;}action.Arguments = "AutoRun";td.Actions.Addaction;ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinitionTaskName, td;

Information on task Scheduling

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

Please follow the suggestions below:

By default, if it's time for your regularly scheduled backup and your computer is off, sleeping, or hibernating, Windows Backup skips the backup and waits for your next scheduled backup. However, if you want to automatically wake the computer
to perform backup, you can use the task scheduler.

To schedule a task to wake the computer before the scheduled backup time follow these steps:

1. Click on Start button and type “Task Scheduler” in the start search box and press enter.

2. Select the “Task Scheduler” from the menu and click on “Actions” and then select “Create task”.

3. Click “Conditions” tab and make sure that “Wake the computer to run this task” is checked.

Please get back to us with updated status, we will be happy to assist you.
