Task Scheduler - Run the program at a specified time

Simple instructions on how to create an "Event" on your computer that will run a program, send an e-mail, show you a notification…

With  Task Scheduler, you can also create multiple Events that will run at different times. You can write a reminder and set it to appear on the screen on a specific date. You can also write an email and specify when exactly to send it automatically. Or, if you want, you can set some programs to run at a specific time.

  2. Click 'Create Basic Task...'
  3. Enter the Name and Description of the Action
  4. Select the time interval for repeating the Action
  5. Enter the date and exact time when you want the Action to take place
  6. Choose Action (Start program, Send an email, Display notifications - reminder), I will take as an example "Start a program"
  7. Select the program you want to run (Browse...)
  8. Click Next and you will see the final settings. Now just press Finish again and that's it.
