Scheduling batch files isn’t as hard as you think, and in order to do it, we’re going to use a built-in Task Scheduler application. Even if you’re not familiar with Windows 11’s Task Scheduler, the instructions are simple and straightforward so you can’t do anything wrong. So without further ado, let’s get started.
How can I schedule a .bat file to run daily?
Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Windows Search box.
Type task scheduler in the Windows Search box and click on the search result in order to open the Task Scheduler app.
Navigate to Task Scheduler Library in the left pane.
Select Create Basic Task in the right pane.
In the Create Basic Task Wizard windows that has opened, enter a name for the task and a description (optional), then click Next.
Select Daily in the Trigger section, then click Next.
Choose a date and time you’d like the task to trigger: set to Recur every 1 day > click Next.
In the Action section, choose the Start a program option > click Next.
Browse the .bat type file of the program you want to run daily > click Next.
Finally, click Finish.
Scheduling tasks via Task Scheduler is very simple and can be done by anyone, without needing to be tech-savy. All you need to do is open the app and start setting up the batch file to run at the specific time and days you want.
