    I am using the trial version at the moment and I would like to use the schedule option as described in faq number 37 but I cannot find the “run period options” in the scheduler. can anyone help

    • Southsoftware says:

      This option is available in Advanced Task Scheduler Professional and Network editions. You should select the “Run daily” schedule type, then click the “Modify” button in the “TIME IN DAY” options, select “Run minutely” and find the “Run in period” options in the appeared window.

  2. Stevenlyn says:

    I am facing issues on Windows Task Scheduler where all the application task has been removed after windows Update (windows 7 or Windows 10).

    Therefore, I would like to know is the Adv Task Scheduler will face the same when windows update?

    • Southsoftware says:

      Windows Updates should not affect Advanced Task Scheduler at all. Advanced Task Scheduler does not depend on Windows Task Scheduler and does not interact with it in any way.
