If you spend many hours in front of the computer, working, studying or simply as a leisure, most likely, when you turn on the computer, visit a certain website, you open a specific application or perform any other type of tasks.
Automation of these processes is the best we can do to avoid wasting time and improving our productivity. On the market, we can find a large number of applications designed to automate workflows without being necessary to know the programming, to be Automate food From Microsoft, one of the most complete.
Automating food is a Payment Available for users who pay Microsoft 365, although it can also be hired independently and is not exactly cheap.
But, if our needs are not very high and we are not willing to pay a type of subscription or do not use Microsoft 365, we can choose to use the Programmer Windows to automate the operation of our PC when we perform a specific action or the team detects a specific event.
How the Windows task programmer works
The first to know this application is that it is available both in Windows 10 and Windows 11, both in the domestic version and in the pro versions.
To start managing automation in Windows, the first thing we need to do is perform the application, what we can do via the Win + Ry shortcut writing “Taskschd.msc” (without quotes) or doing a simple search in Windows with the name “programmed tasks” (without quotes).
To start automating any Windows task, on the right panel, we must click on Create a basic task. This is the simplest option to create automation in Windows. If the process we want to automate is not available via this option, we must click on Create a task.
Then we have to select when we want it to be executed. We can select a specific day and an hour or it is executed when Windows detects a specific event that we must configure.
Then we have to select the event / trigger Activate automation that we want to create. To do this, we have to click on the Drop -Down box Save And select the type for, then select the Native.
Then in the section ActionWe must select the action that the team will carry out (start a program) or if we just want you to send an informative message. When selecting Start a programWe must select the program we want to execute or write a scenario that we want to execute when the event we have configured is detected.
Finally, a summary of the automation that we have created where we must check if it is correct or returns to our steps to configure it will be displayed.
The operation of the programmer's tasks is very simple as long as we want to create simple and basic automation tasks, because the necessary knowledge is not very high.
But, if we want to go and create several variables, the best way to do it is with the Microsoft Power Power application, with which we can create everything we want without being the necessary programming, something very common in this type of application. This application is available via the Microsoft store from this link.
