Windows 11 keeps asking for default app

[Londolozi]

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance Force
;Runs BetSelector to update fields amd form
;SetWorkingDir "D:\Price_Advanced\Price"
Run "C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\BET_SELECTOR.lnk"

I appreciate this is not likely to be a AHK issue.
When I run script from Task Scheduler I get the Windows Prompt asking which App to use to run the script.

I have Reset ALL default Apps in Windows Settings. Assigned AutoHotKey 64bit as the default app.
Manually running a script is fine however when it runs from Task Schedular I get the Windows Prompt asking which App to use to run the script.
Anyone come across this problem before?

@Londolozi — Please note that your last two topics now have been moved from “Scripts and Functions” as noted at the bottom of your posts. That section is for sharing working scripts with others, not for asking help with scripts. Please post in the proper section going forward. Thank you.

Hello,

You can use AutoHotkey's complete command-line syntax in the scheduler.

Run a script from the Windows Task Scheduler

Scripts support command line parameters. The format is:

AutoHotkey.exe [Switches] [Script Filename] [Script Parameters]

Source: Scripts - Definition & Usage | AutoHotkey v2

1. Replace the EXE specification with the full path to your AHK program. Mine is the following.
   
   c:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64.exe
   
   This goes in the "Program/script" field.
2. All remaining parameters, including the full path to your script, go in the "Add arguments" field.

Windows Task Scheduler
