    Actually, it should be “task scheduler” with the quotes, not without the quotes. I tried about 5 or 6 times w/o the quotes and nothing happened. I decided to try with the quotes and Bingo – it worked.
    Thanks anyway

      Thank you for the feedback and input Lewis.
      “task scheduler” with the quotes theoretically work better practically as it becoming specific. Without quotation marks it can search forever.

      (I do not use Windows anymore, I will check this funny thing later…)
