Automatic Scheduler

Automatic Task Scheduler is a lightweight application that can be used to quickly schedule tasks using the Windows Task Scheduler. It facilitates a simpler interface for configuring the necessary parameters.

There's nothing worthy to be mentioned about installation aside from the fact that the program cannot work without .NET Framework or administrative privileges. The administrator password must be entered in the main app window at each startup to be able to configure the Windows Task Scheduler.

The developer doesn't put emphasis on appearance, adopting a simple .NET Framework form where all settings are neatly structured. You can set the full path to the process you wish to schedule for launch, enter any additional command-line parameters, as well as specify the start and end time.

As far as the scheduling type is concerned, the tool in question can run once, daily, weekly, monthly, every time you turn on your computer or log into Windows, every time the computer enters idle mode when there's no user activity, on every hour, or on every minute. Before applying modifications, you can perform a test run and make sure that everything is in working order. Suffice it to say, you can schedule any number of tasks.

It's also possible to modify the properties of scheduled tasks, cancel any jobs, end currently running tasks, and create a log file to view the program's activity, including any errors. Help documentation is available for users who are less experienced with task scheduling applications.

The software utility had little impact on the computer's performance in our tests. However, we had some trouble when trying to run Automatic Task Scheduler in administrator mode on Windows 10 due to the way the program was compiled. It doesn't necessarily provide easier access to the Windows Task Scheduler but we must also keep in mind that it hasn't been updated for a while.
