Task Scheduler won't run scheduled tasks Windows 10

Writer Matthew Martinez

I have a python script that is located on my user account. The python environment used by the script is also located on my user account. I first tried to schedule a task on the user account but scheduling it while logged off was not an option as a user(This doesn't make sense to me.. Non admin accounts should be able to use task scheduler).

Now, in the admin account I created a bat file that references my script. I have batch job rights enabled for both user and admin. I created a task on the admin account to run the bat file on a schedule. I have "Run whether user is logged on or not" checked, as well as "Run with the highest privileges". In conditions I have "Wake the computer to run this task" checked.

The error I'm getting is "The operator or administrator has refused the request(0x800710E0)"

I checked the permissions and the admin account has access to the user folders where the python script and environment are. I don't understand why the admin account cannot run the task. Last question - can users only run tasks if they are logged on, even if they have batch rights?? Any help with this is really appreciated. Task Scheduler has been a nightmare..
