FYI - my Task Scheduler didn't like the spaces in my .py filename so I removed those and it worked! This video is tremendous, thank you

you can also put in inside double quotes "D:/Some Folder/your file name.py" it helps if your folders have spaces in their names or you can follow PEP8 and use underscores
Simple and perfectly explained. Thank you!
Thanks for this - helped me set up my daily script to keep running while I'm on vacation 😆
Incredible, you have just opened my eyes, thank you
Very cool, well done sir!
This is extremely helpful.
Now i see why it didn't triggered my script! Thanks, man!
work for me, thank you a lot!

Perfect... was already wondering how I could integrate cron into windows server... maybe git bash can make it work... eitherway, I am going to try this now
hello, great video , thank you so much for the detailed explanation and example . i tried to implement the same idea on a project I'm working on , sadly I ran into a small imperfection , whenever my automated python script runs , a small python console window opens up and then disappears and then i get the expected output , please if you have any idea on how to remove the python console window let me know , i really appreciate it , thank you
Thank you
Hi, does this task scheduler need any internet or wifi to run? Thx for the video anyway, it really helps me a lot! Xoxo
am seeing fallowing error a specified logon session doesn't excites
great video! however, it doesn't work for me. the task refuses to run on schedule (every 5 mins) but it runs when I trigger it manually. any idea why the trigger wouldn't work?
thanks
does it works for automations using pyautogui library?
Hi I have a request. Can you set up an automatic schedule to lock files and ask for a new password? for example: A file I send to another person on a different device will be locked in the next 1 hour. The file can be opened again with my permission and using a new password. thankyou
hi.my python webscraping scripts are running perfectly but even after the script perfectly ran if i check the task manager i am seeing the python and the browser still open and the ram and cpu is consumed. eventhough the browser and the py file is closed. is there a way to fix this
0x2331 error Thanks, does anyone know why I am getting this error? I have python thru anaconda.
thx
Great video. However, could I use this for a jupyter notebook file (.ipynb) somehow as well? Or would I only be able to task schedule the .py type file? Thanks in advance!

Download ipynb as py then it would work

@@tushardeepsingh4976 I did that but I still get issues where it says the directory is invalid. I have python through anaconda and jupyter lab. Is there a different python I need to download or a different way I need to map to it? Thanks in advance
As soon as I created the task at 7:00 I couldn't find the task in the task list. I figured that visiting C:\Windows\System32\Tasks or running "schtasks.exe /query" on the command line I could find it there but it was in Status: Ready and to test it I set the time to 5' but it never run :(
I understand that the script will run even if I am logged on. Silly question, but will it run if my computer is sleeping also?
*second nice tutorial anyways!
When I setup tasks on the task scheduler using a local repository with a virtual environment I point to the python interpreter in .../.venv/Scripts (given your venv is named .venv) and enter the root of my local repo as the start in option, due to the fact my script is usually in something like .../src/py/main.py and the script is usually referencing paths in .../data/in/data.csv (i.e. paths are not hardcoded)

thank you, just what i was about to ask!
Hi . When I try to run your code task scheduler works But when I run my py script which contains 3 lines of code to import pandas then read a csv file and write some rows of this csv to an excel at sone location . Import pandas as pd df= pd.read_csv(r’c:\files\abc.csv’) df.to_excel(‘c:\files\op.xlsx’,index=False) Task scheduler is not running this code . This code is running correctly in Jupiter notebook however not running by task scheduler when used as .py file Please tell what’s that I’m missing

Bro, you cant tun a .ipynb file (Jupyter notebook) via python prefix. It has to be .py file only
Any idea on how to run this without any windows popping up? I see that yours does not. I have tried the pyw extension, but that doesn't work. I want my script to run in background while I can continue to work on my computer; without it popping up every hour. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I had this problem too. I figured out you have to check the box that says "Run whether user is logged on or not". This will make the window no longer pop up when the task is executed.
Can you please make a video on how to do this when the user is logged off? I check the whether user is logged in or not option to no avail. Thanks.

Any progress? I've tried running "ctypes.windll.user32.SystemParametersInfoW(20, 0, r'C:\Users\username\Pictures\bg.jpg' , 0)" on python through the scheduler, but it seems to not run it at all when "Run whether user is logged in or not" is checked.

idk if this helps but this will work if you are logged on but you lock your machine.
I get 0x2331 error when running the script. Why? :)

I am getting the same error.. did you end up getting this addressed?
it says task scheduler cannot create the task. user account unknown, password incorrect, or user account does not have permission to create. I have correct password. what does user account unknown mean? how do I giver permissin?

That text file maintains log, by checking the last time stamp, you can figure it out

You didn't say to check whether Python is installed first 😁
