I'm having a problem with scheduling a task in Windows 7 Home Premium.
I have been having problems getting tasks to launch appropriately, so I set up a basic task as a test. I set it to open Calculator at a specific time. I then added options one at a time until I got the same failure to launch that I was getting on my previous tasks.
The Calculator test task works as long as it is set for "Run only when user is logged on."
As soon as I change the option to "Run whether user is logged on or not", the task fails to launch the application. The task starts (the status says "Running") but Calculator does not start up. I did not change any other option. This happens whether "Do not store password" is checked or not.
Why would the "Run whether the user is logged on or not" option cause the task to fail? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks,
