About this tag
The taskbehavior tag covers issues related to Windows Task Scheduler task behavior, particularly when tasks fail to run as expected under different user logon states. A common problem discussed is batch jobs that work when the user is logged on but fail or hang when set to run whether the user is logged on or not, especially after upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

The tag focuses on troubleshooting task execution conditions and ensuring scheduled tasks perform reliably across different Windows environments.
