I have a .BAT file that I can run if I double clisk it, but if I choose
"Run" from the scheduled task, it doesn't run.

Does Scheduled Tasks not run batch files?

I have the same problem and came here looking for help.

I tried sfc /scannow in a .bat file and all it would do is scroll the sfc
/scannow until I did a control break.

I'll follow this thread, hopefully for an answer.
 
Hi Kelvin,

Have you checked the Task Scheduler log file? In the Scheduled Tasks window,
click Advanced tab and choose "View log" sub-menu.

The Task Scheduler will run batch files. I have created a batch file that executes the following command:

@echo "Hello World!"

Here is the Run command listed in the Task properties:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K c:\dev\hello.bat

The '/K' option causes the command window to remain open after the batch file has completed execution. This worked flawlessly less than ten minutes ago.
