Task Scheduler

[Guest]

A task is setup to run as follows
Schedule
Daily at 7:00 A
Every 1 day(s
Settings
Stop the task if it runs for: 2 hours(s

I want the task to start only once a day and if it is not finished after 2 hours I want it to stop

The consequence of this setup is however that the task restarts automatically if it has not been finished by 2 hours. These restarts continues through the day

Does anyone know how to do the setup to work in the way I want it to work

In the properties of the scheduled task on the Schedule tab click the Advanced button, which should be to the right of Daily
and 7:00AM. On this dialog make sure the "Repeat task" option is not selected.
