Tasks Notes

If shadow copies are enabled on a volume, a volume-shadow-copies task appears in the Scheduled Tasks folder.

The user who configures the task usually doesn't need to be logged on at the time the task runs unless user input is required when the task runs.

If task A has started task B and you end task A, task B will still run.

Removing a task doesn't remove the executable that the task runs.

Make sure your computer's internal clock is set to the correct date and time if you want your tasks to execute as expected. If a task executes at an unexpected time, check your computer's date and time settings.

Don't try to schedule the Backup system tool using Scheduled Tasks, as Backup has its own built-in scheduling feature. However, backup jobs that are scheduled using Backup are displayed in the Scheduled Tasks folder.
