PowerShell Help
1

I am having Powershell 5 tried scheduling a task through this command.The scheduler is working sometimes and sometimes which is not scheduling in Windows 10.Any other faced this issue before or the syntax is different for scheduling.

I have checked the Scheduled status which is showing as Ready only and tried deleting the task and rescheduled which is not happening.I have tried schedule the calc.exe for testing which is opening without any issue.Kindly help to schedule .bat file.The .bat file is working without any issue when runned manually.

Schtasks /create /tn “Test” /sc daily /st 06:00 /tr “C:\Folder\test.bat”

I would opt for the native PS cmdlets rather than trying to use the command line applications where possible.

Check out the options for New-ScheduledTask and see if that’s what you may want to use instead.

Get-Help New-ScheduledTask

Get this error.I have installed 6.1 version

Open PS as administrator and call `Update-Help`. Or just do a google search for the help topic to get you up to speed. :slight_smile:

Do also check Get-Command scheduledtask to ensure that the commands are present, although if you’re on win10 they definitely should be. :slight_smile:
