I have created a new task, with one action: Start a program. I followed the instructions from https://www.jcchouinard.com/python-automation-using-task-scheduler/
my python script looks like this:
if __name__ == '__main__':
num = 1
Under general properties, I have 'run whether user is logged on or not' checked, 'run with highest privileges' checked, and myself as the user running the task. I am an administrator.
Action Parameters...
Program/script: C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe (pasted from command where python)
Add arguments: py_test.py
Start in: C:\Users\myuser\Desktop
I tested from the command line that I can run this command successfully:
C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\py_test.py
When I click 'run' from the task scheduler library, I get the error 'The file cannot be accessed by the system. (0x80070780)
When I go into the history for the task, I see this error:
Task Scheduler failed to launch action "C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe" in instance "{6204cea7-bedc-40f9-bc10-ac95b9e02460}" of task "\TestPythonJob". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147944320.
I confirmed under the executable file's properties that I and SYSTEM have access to it. I tried researching this error value but could not find anything. What could be the issue?
Maybe try adding python to your path environment variables. Then make a .bat to run it. Here's how to use a .bat with task scheduler https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.5/python-3.9.5-amd64.exe.

I have made a lot of research on the forum, and still can't figure out how to solve my issue. I am running a Python code from the Windows task scheduler, it can run it but stop at some point. I have create a log file to see where the code stop running and it stops when I am doing an HTTP GET from the requests library.
r = session.get(urlRequest, allow_redirects=True)
The code runs fine on Spyder. Any suggestions?
I created a bat file as well and same issue.
#echo off
"C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\python.exe" "C:\Users\NAME\Documents\GTD_scheduledTasks\exchangeRate.py"
pause
In my log files, i asked to print several parameters:
Sys.excecutable C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\python.exe
Sys.path
['C:\Users\NAME\Documents\GTD_scheduledTasks',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\python39.zip',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\DLLs',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\lib',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\win32',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\win32\lib',
'C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin']
os.getcwd() C:\WINDOWS\system32
Thanks!
Edit: I also checked form Spyder where is my ex files for Python and I used the one from sys.excecutable (C:\Users\NAME\Anaconda3\python.exe) both with one \ and with double \
When I go to the event history in the Task Scheduler, i see:
successfully completed: I dont get error return but some statements are not processed (the requests)
actionName is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe. Not sure if relevant
I have a script which I want to run on a daily basis at the same time, automatically. I tried to use Windows Task Scheduler. but no luck so far. FYI I can run the same script from the console without any issue.
I tried
where python
C:\Users\name\Anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
on TaskScheduler
Program/script: "C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe"
Add arguments: Nomura_Daily_PnL_Check.py
Start in: "C:\Users\name\Jobs\scripts_need_to_run_daily"
when the scheduled time come, literally nothing happens. No error, No output, nothing!
what is wrong in this process?
try mentioning values without double inverted commas, like:
Program/script: C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe
Add arguments: Nomura_Daily_PnL_Check.py
Start in: C:\Users\name\Jobs\scripts_need_to_run_daily
Also first try to run a simple program, lets say a python program which will write to a file so that you will know whether task is failing or there is some issue with your program.
My question is related to this, but none of the solutions presented there worked for me. I'm trying to schedule a .py file to run daily using Windows Task Scheduler. The .py file downloads some data and then emails it to someone. I followed the directions here to do this. I can run my .bat file just fine and it downloads the data and emails it.
In Windows Task Scheduler the task is listed as 'Task completed' and also says 'Task Scheduler successfully finished "{7fd6d9a4-82d4-4a43-ba8b-a67a14e17b25}" instance of the "\OBCapacity_SOP" task for user "ANT\user1". However, Last Run Result for the task says '(0x1)' and the data never downloads or gets emailed. Here's how I've set up Task Scheduler for this job in Actions:
Start a Program
Program/script: C:\Users\user1\Documents\COVID19_S&OP\COVID19_SOP.bat
Start in (optional): C:\Users\user1\Documents\COVID19_S&OP\
The task is currently set to only run when user is logged on. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
I've got a process I'm trying to automate through the Windows task scheduler. The file is located right next to the script on a subfolder in my desktop. A mockup that shows the problem I'm running into is:
import os
if __name__ == "__main__":
lines = []
with open(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\config.txt') as file:
for line in file:
lines.append(line)
with open(r'C:\Users\user\Desktop\folder\output.txt', 'w') as file:
for line in lines:
file.write(line)
When I run this through the command line, the code works fine. The config file is read in properly and the output works properly.
However, in task scheduler, the program fails to execute with an 0x2 error code. In task scheduler, I have the tried with the following task scheduler options selected:
Run only when user is logged on/Run with highest priveledges Run only
when user is logged on/Highest priveledges not checked Run whether
user is logged on or not/Run with highest priveledges Run whether
user is logged on or not/Highest priveledges not checked
I am using absolute paths - as you can see in the above example. I'm also using the "start in" option inside of task scheduler.
This is seriously annoying me.
Edit: I am using absolute paths inside of task scheduler to both the Python executable and the script.
I have multiple recurring tasks scheduled to run several times per day to keep some different data stores in sync with one another. The settings for the 'Actions' tab are as follows:
Action: Start a Program
Program/script: C:\<path to script>.py
Add arguments:
Start in: C:\<directory of script>
I can run the python files just fine if I use the command line and navigate to the file location and use python or even just using python without navigating.
For some reason, the scripts just won't run with a scheduled task. I've checked all over and tried various things like making sure the user profile is set correctly and has all of the necessary privileges, which holds true. These scripts have been working for several weeks now with no problems, so something has changed that we aren't able to identify at this time.
Any suggestions?
Have you tried using:
Action: Start a Program
Program/script: C:\<path to python.exe>\python.exe
Add arguments: C:\\<path to script>\\script.py
