there is a command with a very massive amount of options: schtasks.
you can create a new task by runing a single-line command or batch.cmd that will show up in: taskschd.msc
so either open cmd-prompt or create a new text file called “restart every 2 days.cmd” and place this content:
REM fixed interval, restart every 2 days at 00:00 o'clock schtasks /create /tn "restart every 2 days" /tr "shutdown -t 0 -r -f" /sc DAILY /mo 2 /st 00:00 /RL HIGHEST
examples:
REM fixed time, restart once at 12:15 schtasks /create /sc DAILY /tn "restart at 12:15" /tr "shutdown -t 0 -r -f" /st 12:15 /RL HIGHEST
REM fixed interval, restart every 10 minutes schtasks /create /tn "restart every 10 minutes" /tr "shutdown -t 0 -r -f" /sc minute /mo 10 /RL HIGHEST
to full syntax help type in command prompt:
schtasks /Create /?
/sc -> valid values:
| Schedule type | Description |
