How do I create a scheduled task that will run as the logged in user

  • 772

I am trying to write a scheduled task that will run in the context of the currently logged in user.

It appears there was an option to run the task as a group in Windows 7 (see https://superuser.com/questions/656964/what-user-must-a-scheduled-task-run-as-in-order-to-be-visible-for-all-users), but this option is not present in Windows 10:

How can I achieve this in Windows 10?

    If you run Task Scheduler as Administrator, the option to Change User or Group will be available. There you can set the task itself to run as a non-privileged group.
