  • Microsoft is trying to abolish running interactive programs via the Task Scheduler. Why are you trying to do it this way, when you could just set it to run as a user Startup process? Or are you trying to do boot time monitoring?

  • Process Explorer has a menu option 'Run at Logon'. Setting this creates the Task scheduler task (which does not work). My attempt to create a similar task was just a way to try to figure out why the task is not running. The reason I want it running on logon is just because of system tray icons for CPU/HDD monitoring. Regarding your comment that this might be intentional: any source where this statement was made? Commented Oct 24, 2022 at 11:00
  • If you install Process Explorer from the System Internals (Microsoft) website, update your PATH variables, are you able to get the scheduled task to work?
