Windows Task Scheduler - Time Limit set to unlimited

Question

_{Thursday, October 19, 2017 4:20 AM}

I'm running Windows 2012R2.

I've created a job in Task Scheduler.

The job seems to have a time limit set to a maximum of 3 days even when I've not set in Task Scheduler's job Triggers, the parameter "Stop task if it runs longer than:" has not been set

To confirm this I've run this command in Powershell:

Get-ScheduledTask mytask|select -expand settings| select executiontimelimit
P3D

P3D means 3 days.

I want to run my job with NO time limit.

How do I run my task scheduler job with no time limit?

Hi,

Based on test in my lab, I suggest you uncheck “Stop task if it runs longer than” in Settings tab not Triggers to see if it helps.

executiontimelimit

P3D

Hi,

Based on your screenshot, you still unchecked “Stop task if it runs longer than” in Triggers tab not in Settings tab. I suggest you uncheck “Stop task if it runs longer than” in Settings tab to see if it helps.
