Hey, so i recently started using the task scheduler to have my pc shutdown a few hours after i leave it, but its becoming a bit cumbersome to manually delete the tasks everytime they stack up, as well as making new ones everytime. So im asking for advice, is there a way to make an ongoing task...

Hi, Id like to know if there is a way I can customise my pc, either windows 7 or 10, to boot up automatically at the same time every morning. Without me touching anything... while I'm still in bed. I am currently venturing into the world of retail trading and need to be up and at my desk by...

I have adopted a fairly old IT philosophy of 'If its not broken, don't fix it' when it comes to Windows 10. After all, the only 'valuable' stuff on your computer are documents and emails which you spent time on - if these are 'lost' there is a cost to recover this data. So - for the past...

Hi, I'm trying to make a scheduled task to run every 5 minutes but I don't seem to get it to run. If I right click it and make it run manually it works so the path to the file is correct and working, also the .bat file works when I double click it. Under the history tab I can't see any errors...

Especially when I right click a file. I get the rotating circle and sometimes timeout before the context menu opens. Sometimes I think there is something going on in background, but task manager doesn't show anything. Is there a utility that can showerverything running? I've been toold tm...

I have a batch file that runs on logon as a task, but it does not work on non-admin desktops because it uses admin level commands. I want it to run as administrator without prompting the user for a password. I tried going into the file properties, clicking compatibility, and checking "Run This...

Couldn't find anything in searches but I gather this has become a problem for a few others possibly. I only had one task manually set up (as opposed to those Windows does) but after I'd reverted from Windows 10 it didn't run any more. I presumed it was the only one with any issues so didn't...
