Introduction to Task Scheduler

By using Task Scheduler, you can schedule tasks (such as Disk Defragmenter) to run at a time that is most convenient for you. Task Scheduler starts each time you start Windows, and runs in the background.

With Task Scheduler, you can:

• Schedule a task to run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain times (such as system startup).
• Change the schedule for a task.
• Stop a scheduled task.
• Customize how a task runs at a scheduled time.
