Scheduled task may not run upon reboot if machine was off at time of task
On a Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, a scheduled task may not run upon reboot if the machine was off at the time of the scheduled task.
This can occur if the task trigger was set to run
One Time when created. It is possible to set a task to "Run as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed". This will cause the task to re-run after a reboot if the trigger was missed. However, this does not occur if the task is set to runÂ
One Time. This behavior is by design.
You can work around this issue by setting a time and date under the
Expire option of the task. This option can be reached by opening the
Properties of the task, selecting the
Triggers tab, and then clicking the
Edit button for the trigger in question. If a date and time are set for the
Expire option, the task will attempt to refire on reboot if its previous trigger time was missed.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
