Triggering Python and py in Task Scheduler does not work

I create a task in task scheduler to open Python and run a code from a .py file and nothing happens.

Settings of my task:

General

Run whether user is logged in or not TICKED Run with highest privileges TICKED

Actions

Program/script: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\python.exe Add arguments: code.py (I have also tried "code.py") Start in (location of my code.py): C:\Users\me\Downloads (I have also tried "C:\Users\me\Downloads")

Once I click Run, nothing happens. Can anyone advise please?

I was expecting that the scheduler will open Spyder, add code and run it. Not sure if this is possible or needed at all?

Solution

  • The process works. It seems that my python code was not working well.

    If you are in doubt just run a simple code with your Task Scheduler:

    e.g.

    import webbrowser
url = 'https://www.bbc.co.uk/'
webbrowser.open(url)
