Hello,
I have my Windows 7 Backup program set to start at every Sunday at 5:10am. My computer automatically starts at 5am. I have all users (2) password protected. No one logs in before 7am.
Currently my backup program does not run at its programed start time of 5:10am.
I think its because no one is logged in. Any way to configure it to start at 5:10am?
I know Acronis has the ability to access password protected accounts and start its backup..not sure about MS.
Thank you!

"Run whether user is logged in or not" is grayed out and I cannot change. Also under "when running the task, use the following user group", "SYSTEM" is set.

OK seems that I may have to revise my answer
It seems that you must be in an adminstrator account and you have the option, only when you set up the task
So, if it is a task that you set up, you must try again.

These are the results of trying on my own computer
Hope it works this time
