I have a some commands that I want to run automatically every morning. The script is located in C:\Users\NHS\Downloads\Reward-master\Reward-master and the file name is rewards_master.py. but when I run the task, it doesn't even open the CMD window. I have checked the paths and arguments, the permissions, the triggers, and the history of the task, but I can't find any errors or warnings. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this?

I want to run the following

1: Cd C:\Users\NHS\Downloads\Rewards-master\Rewards-master

2: python C:\Users\NHS\Downloads\Reward-master\Reward-master\rewards_master.py

Here are the images of how i have set everything up.

Your "Program/script" should be `python` – slothrop Apr 24 '23 at 13:59
now cmd opened but closed immediately – Jack Jack Apr 24 '23 at 14:02
If you want to keep the window open when your script finishes, there are various ways: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1000900/how-to-keep-a-python-script-output-window-open – slothrop Apr 24 '23 at 14:05
i tried paying around with stuff from the link but nothing worked as i am on task scheduler, I don't know how to set it up properly – Jack Jack Apr 24 '23 at 14:49
Have you tried putting the *absolute path* for Python in 'Program/script'? Browsing to the installation folder and picking Python.exe should be sufficient with the Arguments and Start-In that you have. – BoppreH Apr 24 '23 at 17:42
