    Windows Task Scheduler stays active after it runned a batch file


    Hi small question,

    My batch file runs quite well in windows task scheduler, but it stays active.

    How can I make sure Task Scheduler finishes this?


    I am closing VLC player with a command ending with --play-and-exit

    and then vlc:quit (to kill the processes in the task manager).

    But in task scheduler the status stays active.

    Any tips?

    I am opening VLC player, let it play a playlist and close it in a batch file.

    vlc.exe "path\my playlist" --fullscreen --play-and-exit
    vlc:quit

    Is there not another solution?

    How do you change status with a command in a batch file?

    So, not in the GUI as in the attached file, but with a command of this?
