For several years, I've use a scheduled task to launch a bat file at 2:00 AM every day. The script uses robocopy to back up some files to a different disk. It also writes an entry to a log file when it runs. It was running properly every day until August 1 when I installed the latest Windows feature update. It was set to run whether the user is logged on or not and also to be able to be run on demand. From the log file I noticed that it hadn't run in a few days so I attempted to launch it from the task manager manually and that didn't work either. Finally I found that if I change the setting to run only when the user is logged on I can launch it from the task manager. I don't know it it will run on its own at 2:00 AM if I leave myself logged in yet (I don't want to leave my account logged in). Nothing about the script has changed in a couple of years, but suddenly after I installed the Windows update it stopped working. What can I do?
