Task Scheduler Won't Run Task With Idle Condition
When I schedule a task to run Disk Cleanup with a one minute idle condition the task does does not run successfully and provides the following run result.The Task Scheduler service has asked the task to run. (0x41325)If I manually run the task or remove the idle condition the task runs and completes successfully.Why won't the task start with an idle condition?

Hi,Please refer to Schedule a Task to set idle condition longer than one minute (30 minute etc.) to see how it works. If the issue persists, let's visit Troubleshooting Task Scheduler to narrow down this issue.Best RegardsDale

Changed the condition to start the task only if the computer is idle for 5 and 15 minutes, same result.

Hi,I noticed that you set the idle time shorter than the waiting for idle time. In my opinion, we should set the idle time longer than the waiting for idle time if we schedule a task running during the idle contidion. As the documents described, the Task Scheduler service will verify that the computer is in an idle state every 15 minutes. If a task is set to start only if the computer is idle for 30 minutes, and the task waits for the computer to be idle for 10 minutes, then the task will launch in 5 minutes only if the computer has been idle for 25 minutes prior to the time the trigger was activated. The task will not start if the computer enters an idle state 5 minutes after the trigger is activated. For more information, please refer to Task Idle Conditions.Best RegardsDale
