There is a program that I have made that involves opening a designated program and then using keyboard commands on it, but the program is meant to run as a task in Task Scheduler. However, based on my testing, I found out that it will not run when the option "run whether user is logged on or not" will not run this program. On the other hand, the option "run only when user is logged on" works as intended.
How do you allow the Macro to run a program as described, even if the user is not logged on?
Thank you for reading.

Re: Task Scheduler EXE without user login
If you need to use keyboard commands to do something in a program then a user needs to be logged in. There is no keyboard console and there is no UI when a user is not logged. You simply can't do UI automation without a logged in user.

Re: Task Scheduler EXE without user login
OK, got it. I am planning to compile another program to log into the server for the sole purpose of allowing the inside macro to run.
