Print Page - Task Scheduler fails when Windows username contains spaces

Title: Task Scheduler fails when Windows username contains spaces
Post by: an3s on April 06, 2017, 01:53:31 PM

Hi there, the scheduled task seems to fail because my windows username contains a space:

F:\Users\John Doe\Downloads\scoped_dir_16148_1317\PatchMyPC.exe /silent

This should have quotes, like this:
"F:\Users\John Doe\Downloads\scoped_dir_16148_1317\PatchMyPC.exe" /silent

Somewhere the PatchMyPC program schedules this task wrong. :)

Hi,
What OS are you using?
The task scheduler will still continue to run when the path has spaces in it.
I do not recall when Microsoft changed this, but I can confirm, at least on my test machine, that this works OK with and without spaces in the path.
