Task Scheduler - Create Task to Display a Message Reminder

Hello Yoder, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

You might also see if a log on screen message may work for this.

Logon Title and Text Message

I am trying to have the message display at the end of the day. Task Scheduler will only work for a Local Machine right?

Hi!

Can I do something like this for windows 10 and 8? Annoyingly, while the "display a message" option appears in brackets it's claimed that it's obsolete and it wouldn't let me save the task...

Hey Brink,

I sure hope you're still responding and on here. I'm having some trouble with your display window suggestion.

I followed everything to a T.

I work in a library and I have students who are at our help desk. We are trying to record stats--like how often does someone come up to the desk and ask for help. Taking stats is an easy thing to forget, so I tried task scheduler. I have the reminder set to pop up every fifteen minutes, every day from 8:30am-midnight. Everything was working fine for a few days. The pop up would appear and it was really helping us to get those stats.

Now, however, the window pops up and within two second it automatically disappears. I would rather the display window stay up and have the students forced to click the OK button on the reminder. ANY help would be AWESOME!

If it's any help, I'm on a Dell PC, running 64 bit Windows 7.

THANKS!

Nope, it just closes.

Thanks for the fast response!

Snap To does not seem to be the issue. Snap To is not selected in my mouse settings. I have this set on two computers and it is doing the same on both. I tried deleting the task and doing it all over again, I even tried rebooting the computer, but neither seems to do the trick. The message appears for about a second and then disappears immediately afterwards, without touching the mouse or keyboard.

Is there a way I can set a time expiration thing on this display window? Like command the task scheduler to close the display after x amount of time?
