Running a Python-made .exe on a Repeated Schedule in Windows 10

If you’ve created a graphical user interface (GUI) application using Python's auto-py-to-exe and want it to execute automatically at regular intervals, you may have encountered some challenges. Perhaps you've tried using Task Scheduler in Windows 10, but found that your application doesn't appear to run as expected. This guide will guide you through a solution that utilizes a batch (.bat) script to successfully schedule your Python-created executable to run on a recurring basis.

The Challenge

The need for automatically running applications at specified intervals is common among users, especially when working with automation tasks. In this case, the goal is to run a Python-generated executable every 10 minutes. Upon clicking the .exe file manually, it functions correctly, which indicates that the problem lies with the scheduling rather than the application itself.

Proposed Solution

To overcome the limitations of Task Scheduler directly executing the .exe file, we can create a batch script that will handle the execution. This approach has proven to be effective and can be broken down into the following steps:

Step 1: Create a .bat Script

Open Notepad (or any text editor).

Write a simple command that runs your executable. The script should look like this:

Replace C:\Path\To\Your\Application.exe with the actual path of your executable file.

The -echo off command prevents the command line window from being displayed.

Step 2: Save the .bat Script

In Notepad, click on File and then Save As.

Choose a location where you want to save the batch file.

In the Save as type dropdown, select All Files.

Name the file with a .bat extension (e.g., run_app.bat).

Step 3: Set Up Task Scheduler

Open the Task Scheduler application on Windows 10.

Click on Create Basic Task from the right pane.

Name your task and provide a description if desired. Click Next.

Choose how frequently you want the task to run (Daily, Weekly, etc.). Click Next.

Set the start time and the recurrence (for example, every 10 minutes). Click Next.

Select Start a program and click Next.

Browse to your .bat file you created and select it.

Review your settings and click Finish.

Step 4: Test Your Task

Once the task is created, you can test it by right-clicking the task and selecting Run.

If everything is configured correctly, your Python-made .exe should run as intended.

Conclusion

Using a batch file to run your Python-created executable can simplify the process of scheduling tasks in Windows 10. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure your application operates automatically and without manual intervention every 10 minutes. If you face any issues, double-check the paths in your .bat file, as any mistakes there can prevent the application from launching.
