Using Task Scheduling in Windows 10

In Windows 10, as in previous versions of the operating system, you can also create a task schedule. This makes it possible to have the computer automatically run programs or reboots at certain times.

How to manage task scheduling in Windows 10

There are several ways to access task scheduling in Windows 10. However, the easiest way is to use Windows Search. To do so, click the Windows icon at the bottom left or directly in the search bar and simply type "task scheduling". Click the search result with the same name and you will be directly in the task scheduling window.

1. Create a new task by clicking "Action" at the top and selecting either "Create Simple Task" or "Create Task".
2. Next, the wizard will guide you. Enter a name and, if necessary, a description for the task and click "Next".
3. In the next step, you specify the so-called trigger. This is an event through which the desired action should be set in motion. This can be, for example, at startup, once a week or even when logging a certain event.
4. Then you specify which task should be executed, such as a restart, the start of a particular software and much more.
5. Finally, check the task in the last step again and click "Finish".

If you want to edit or delete a task afterwards, click on it in the task scheduling and edit it in the area to the right.
