Just solved a problem for me, again! Many thanks from across the pond

Excellent content! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Any video you want to make that helps make the computer run faster and gets rid of junk is a good video. Improving efficiencies is always a good idea. How about an automatic clearing suite of junk files and other memory robbing things. That is a good video like this one except it does multiple tasks at the end prior to shut down. Thanks. Stay safe my mates!😊👍🏻😁🛠

thank you so much. you save my day.

Hmm this video went over my head Brian because I am unsure of what the cache is in simple terms. I shall have to do some research before I get into doing this.

I have always enjoyed listening to the UK accent. The men sound smart and kind and the women sound delightful. What could be better for a culture?

Thanks!! I had a problem with weird password at the end of creating task and Your way helped with it!

Thanks for the tutorial. In my case my .vbs script was not triggering with task scheduler. So after researching stack overflow I found that 4:49 (add user or group) you need to select "Administrators" and not SYSTEM. Thanks for the video, it works now. :))

Is there anyway to do that in cloud? So my pc can be offline in this proccess

Well... 2:17 who needs smooth editing when you just slice that puppy right in there and say, "Who'll notice...?"

I have surveillance video program when I rebooted my Pc want PC open this program automatically.. can I use this method for solution?

This is great. But if wish to run a process outside of work hours eg weekend. Do I need to turn on pc as part of script or option in task scheduler, or set bios for pc to turn on?

After you add the new task to Task Scheduler what do you do with the Clear Cache folder on the desktop? Delete or Put into another part of the PC?

Hello, can I program Task Scheduler to trigger the space bar? I have looked but cant find the answer. I want to hold a video on pause, and then have the space bar timed on Task Scheduler to trigger the Space Bar, which in turn will start the paused video to play. Thank you.

Thank you sir! Can you give us an example on how to play mp3 prayer for example, every morning @ 8am using task scheduler? Thank you and god bless.

--- Thanks, great video but why does 'Change User or Group' remove the option to 'Run whether user is logged on or not' ? is there a way to get that back? --- 26JUN22

In the BIOS, does enabling virtualization technologies add any performance benefits in Windows 10?

Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing this useful tools.

Can you do this to launch a .mcr macro file? Having trouble scheduling a macro.

I had the hardest time (a few years ago) being able to get this to work, because, IIRC, privledges, group policy, etc. I finally did get it to work, and it along with a batch file is one of the most useful things that puts the computer to work for me. One thing is to convert recorded TV shows (via TV tuner), rename the files, and move the files. Simple things, but it makes the whole use auomated. (After all this, the motherboard must have a problem where it freezes upon waking from sleep. It was useless until I found it could wake from hibernate.)

Wow, great walkthrough of the process 👍😀

Is it possible to have task scheduler close a program and start it up again in a loop? Say every hour?

Will this help with stopping "deferred procedure calls and interrupt service routines / system interrupts & System Idle Process"? I am creating brushes in Affinity Photo and the "System Interrupts and Idle Process" makes me wait up to 3 min after I work with and transfer 5 to 10 brushes into different categories. My system is older but I've got to figure out how to make it work for me. I've uninstalled most of the unnecessary software programs, turned off programs in my start-up menu, deleted font files and brush categories to make Affinity run smoother, moved files off my c-drive to create 650GB of unused space, wiped the c-drive free space, and updated my registry and drivers. Thanks for the response. I really appreciate the help.

Ignorant question..... Does free version of CCleaner do the same thing? I usually run CCleaner just before I shut computer down. Please advise. Love your postings - thank you

Sir, Please clear the argument menu as many programs require arguments to perform certain tasks, and without passing the arguments they will just start (and exit if CLI it's a CLI), and won't perform any action untill manually clicking on a specific button...

BRITEC09 ... Question I had windows 7 when i went to windows 10 and that used a digital key can i still use that if i do a full clean install of windows 11 ?

how to repeat task in every minute?

Pure magic, thanks.

Beautiful content

4:00 thank me later if you are here just about task scheduler

Hi, my configured task doesn't run after configuring it to repeat each 5 minutes on win11. I tried a lot of things, but nothing helps. Thanks

Hey guys, does anybody know if you can set the "Repeat Task Every" setting to less than 1 minute? I need it for my workflow to be set to 10-20 seconds. Any help is very appreciated. Thank!

Doesn't work for me. I have error (0x800702E4). What can I do?

Thanks, mate I needed to do exactly this
