Windows 10 has a task scheduler. You can do very complicated things with it. Or realize something as simple as starting a program at a certain time.
Windows Task Scheduler is actually a kind of timer for software. For example, you can have Word or a browser start at a pre-scheduled time. If necessary with an interval such as daily or weekly. In this way you can, for example, encourage yourself to perform a task such as working on your report or report. You can find the Task Scheduler by right-clicking on Start. Then click computer management in the displayed panel. In the Computer Management window, click Task Scheduler, located under System Tools in the left column. Click in the column on the right Create basic task. Give the task a name, for example Start Notepad. click on Next one and indicate with what frequency or at what time the task should be started. For example Daily is an option. Do you choose Event, then you can use a log event as a trigger. So something for the real enthusiasts. Whether you choose When the computer starts up, so that a program or tool is available immediately after every system startup. In this example we assume a One-off occurring event; select this option and click on Next one.
Set up
Select the desired date and time at which the program to be set should be started. Click again Next one and select the option Start a program. Click again Next one and then the button To leaf through. Browse to the executable file. In the case of Notepad, you have to be in the folder c:\Windows\System32; the program you are looking for is called notepad. Select this and click To open. Then click Next one and Complete. Notepad will now start at the set time. Of course you can do more fun things this way. Many programs can be controlled with switches. You could start Word and open a document right away. However, switches differ per program, so we cannot give you a general explanation. Often the help program or manual offers a solution. The bottom line is that you can use Windows to start tasks automatically. And that offers interesting possibilities.
