If I manually double-click the batch file, it works properly, and the application runs and logs its actions. I found this article , which offered several suggestions, none of which worked. The promising ones were. That didn't work. I also tried explicitly building my application to target x86 platform.
That also didn't work. Both of these seemed to work for others. Is there any way to figure out why this application won't run when triggered by Windows scheduler? I have no idea what you mean by the above description. Let's remove your program from the equation. I don't have continuous access to the PC, I can only access it off hours. So for the purpose of this thread, let's assume the problem will occur when running Notepad also until I can verify that.
Sorry for the first paragraph. It was intended to state that I have a program which runs properly, but when scheduled it does not. So scheduled task runs batch file, which runs my program with command-line switch. I can see my program flash on the screen minimized, then leave, but no logging takes place.
If I run batch file by double-click, I also see my program appear momentarily, and the desired logging takes place, so I know the program is properly running. So now the original question changes. Why doesn't my C application properly execute when it is run by the Windows task scheduler?
It's a typical Winforms app. Here is code of Program. I can't figure out why it all works when double-clicking the bat file, but not when the schedule task runs the bat file. I guess it's some permissions thing, but have no idea why. Describe exactly how you are configuring the scheduled task to run your program.
Don't leave out any details. Also provide details of the batch file you are using including its contents and the command line used to start it. By the way, you should be able to start a program from a scheduled task without using a batch file. RLWA32, thanks so much for taking the time to help me. Here are the details of scheduled task:.
I realize I don't need a batch file. Instead I can point to the exe and add the command-line option to the options textbox. I only moved to a bat file to be able to play with the running path and the options. Plan is to go back to scheduling the exe itself when all works. So the first line was an attempt to implement one of the suggestions in the article I linked to in the OP. All that is running now should be that second line, right?
It worked when I first created it a few days ago, but today I disabled then re-enabled it and now it just won't start automatically.
I can still manually trigger it and that works. My fix was simple I had already manually ran the scheduled task, but I created the scheduled task for the intent of using it daily I had several TB to copy over to a backup server so I could not schedule the task just yet. My fix was to update the Start date to the current day, and that for some reason resolved it. Detailed info: Previous start date was Jan 3 which was when I created the task and manually ran it.
The task was enabled to run daily and failed on Jan 5th. Went into the settings and updated the date to the current day Jan 6 , ran that night and completed on Jan 7.
The default setting is "Run only when user is logged on" which means the task will not run until someone logged on to the server.
I think you want to set the task to run once every 10 minutes for 24 hours as you are triggering it to repeat once daily. Might also need to set the "Stop task if it runs longer than" option under "Settings" for the task. Might be skipping the scheduled task because task scheduler thinks the task is still running when it is not I had similar issue. The task scheduler stopped working due to some reason at remote location.
I told them to run the task scheduler job and then I hope it would pick up the next run, nut it didnt start. The only last thing is I have to go to the server location, then change the start date from old date to current date and also change the time ahead to current time, after this change only it start working. However, I thought it should start by itself when the machine restarts. I could nt found any setting that worked except to manually and change the date time to current and next ticking time.
I came here because I had the same problem. Turns out, the trigger was disabled. For some reason task scheduler uses disabled triggers in the "Next Run Time" box Do you have Windows Live installed?
I setup a task to fire every 15 minutes similar, however, it got stuck in "Task has not run yet" state even though the next run time was updating correctly. Not sure if this is still helpful, but I had the same issue and was looking for a solution a couple of hours. Before it worked on a server and now I was trying to do something on my own windows environment.
But this was not why it first worked and after not anymore. The difference was that my computer was plugged in before and now it wasn't.

Not sure if this matters but you could test by changing to the same.
Maybe you could perform cleanboot to verify if any third party tools or services will impact this behavior. If this Clean boot still not working, i would suggest to capture process monitor logs to verify the difference between working server vs non-working server I've tested it on my 5 clean-installed servers ISO from MS site , 4 of them have the "english version" installed and one of them is russian - the behavior is exactly the same. I don't want to spend my time troubleshooting a clean Windows installations - maybe I'd better choose to use Windows instead.
I think it's one more "feature" of Windows Server - the previous two was discussed here:. Regarding data collector sets MS has issued a workaround but it does not work either at least on my server , and last version of Windows Server still has this issue. The task scheduler bug has been in Server since its release three years ago, and considering Server is now in release, it seem unlikely it will get fixed.
I get the feeling that microsoft would rather the anti-azureists just go away. Sometimes it can run as System, but do you think the issue arises only for user accounts? As far as I remember it didn't matter under which account the task was to be running
