Questions tagged [taskscheduler]

Task Scheduler is the common name for a set of tools and services that provide scheduled execution of executables and scripts on the Windows operating system. Use taskschedular tag in conjunction with powershell, winapi, windows-task-scheduler tags when Task Scheduler related.

The Task Scheduler helps scheduling automated tasks that perform actions at a specific time or when a certain event occurs. It maintains a library of all scheduled tasks, providing an organized view of the tasks and a convenient point of access for managing them. There can be run, disabled, modified, and deleted tasks from within the library. The Task Scheduler user interface (UI) is a Microsoft Management Console (mmc) snap-in since Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
