I am attempting to run a saved R script using Windows Task Scheduler. When I run it it fails. In an attempt to troubleshoot the problem I created a small test R script

test <- function(){
print("test")
}
test()

I then create a small bat file with

"C:\R\R-3.4.4\bin\R.exe" "C:\Test.R"

When I attempt to manually run that .bat file R in the cmd line opens but its initial message is

"C:\R\R-3.4.4\bin\R.exe" "C:\Test.R"
ARGUMENT "C:\Test.R" __ignored__

and the script does not run.
