I created a scheduled task in the task scheduler and created a shortcut to trigger it. However, when I log in as a standard user and I run the shortcut, nothing happens. But when I open the task scheduler (As Administrator) the task is there and when I run it through the task scheduler, it works.

However, if I run task scheduler as a regular user, the task is not there.

I can't create the task as a standard user. I can only create the task by starting task scheduler as admin.

I believe the issue when running the shortcut as a standard user is that it cant find the task name specified. If i right click the shortcut and run as admin, and enter admin credentials, it works.

How do I get this working for standard users??

  • Don' t put this on the user. Set the task to run with the needed creds, and to run when the user logs on or at some other point during the workday, while the user is logged on. – postanote Mar 16 '20 at 01:18

I am not sure if this can help, while creating the task have you ticked the "Allow task to be run on demand" under Settings ?
