The following loosely adapts Microsoft's time trigger task example, with commented links to get further information. The property that directly addresses your question is taskDefinition.Settings.StartWhenAvailable. --- import win32com.client from pywintypes import com_error from datetime import datetime, timedelta # Connect a TaskService instance. # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/taskservice service = win32com.client.Dispatch('Schedule.Service') service.Connect() # Create a TaskDefinition. # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/taskdefinition taskDefinition = service.NewTask(0) # Set the task description and author name. # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/registrationinfo taskDefinition.RegistrationInfo.Description = ( "Start notepad at a certain time") taskDefinition.RegistrationInfo.Author = "Author Name" # Enable the task to start after the scheduled time. # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/tasksettings taskDefinition.Settings.Enabled = True taskDefinition.Settings.StartWhenAvailable = True # Add a TimeTrigger. # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/triggercollection # https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/taskschd/timetrigger TASK_TRIGGER_TIME = 1 # The time format is "YYYY-MM-DD" "T" "HH:MM:SS" [(+-)"HH:MM"].
