Task Scheduler not working (I HAVE looked!)
Many questions about this, but I found none that matched my problem, which were resolved.
Win 7 Home Prem 32
I had set up daily scheduled restore creation points, only to find that none had actually been created, when I tried to restore. I now have a non-working microphone
The schedules were working some time back, I am sure.....however...
I have it set to work whether I am logged in or not. I cannot see any restrictions that would stop it.
Triggers are : time based.
Action :"start a program c:\program files\deltacad\deltacad.exe" (browsed, not entered"
Conditions: Only when on 240V power
Settings: Allow task to be run manually
Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days
If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop.
History shows repeated successful completions.
Taskeng.exe is trusted in my security system (Comodo) and is running as a programme. Task Scheduler is shown as a Service.
I tried scheduling the running of a simple drafting programme that I have (deltacad.exe). The time came and went and nothing appeared to happen. I ran it manually using SCHTASKS.EXE /RUN /TN "task name". A very brief CMD window opened, and again it looked as if nothing had happened. However when I ran Process Explorer, there were 3 issues of the programme running: apparently one from the scheduled run and the others manual. None of them showed a GUI onscreen, and if I asked to bring the window to the front in Procexp, the option was greyed. running the programme itself, by actually activating it in Windows, resulted in a successful load and run.
EDIT: I have also set the schedule for each system start, and that is not working either.
Help?
