Open Run (Windows Key + R) and type taskschd.msc
. Now click create task. You'll see a window like this. Give your task a name, and select the option named Run with highest privileges
. You may also give the task a description and/or change the user (Though if the user doesn't have administrator rights, you'll run into issues).
When you're done giving it a name and setting Run with highest privileges
, go to the actions tab and hit the New
button. You will now see a window like this, click Browse

type in the bar schtasks /run /tn “taskname”
. Replace taskname
with the name you gave the task you created.
