How to get a notification when a task is completed in Windows 10

If you would like Windows 10 to receive a notification each time a scheduled task is executed, you can easily do so by following the steps in our article today.

Scheduled tasks in Windows 10 are created either by the operating system, by third-party installed programs, or by users. Tasks created by Windows 10 are about performing basic services, updating checks, and periodically verifying / securing Windows 10 activation.

If you look at the to-do list in the Task Schedule application, you will see that there are several tasks that are usually run silently. It is rare for a job to ever show you that it has run. Only when it fails can you see a notification but even that is not a given. If you want to receive a notification every time a task is completed, you will need to manually adjust it.

Since notifications for completing specific tasks need to be added manually, you can not do this for all tasks in one go. You have to do it separately for each job.

Create alert
The notification that will be displayed will be through the command line. A command prompt window will open and let you know about it. You can also set it to turn itself off after a few minutes.

Step 1. Open the Task Schedule. If you do not know how, search the start menu for the word "Scheduled" (Scheduled tasks).

Step 2. Create a new task from which you want to receive a notification whenever it is running or just select one of the existing ones to set it to alert you.

Step 3. Whichever you choose, right-click on it and in the menu that appears select "Properties".

Step 4. A new Properties window will open. Go to the "Actions" tab and click the "Create" button at the bottom of the tab.

Step 5. A tab titled "New Energy" will open. There select "Start a program" in the "Action" drop-down menu. In the Program / Script box, type “cmd” (without the concealers).

Step 6. In the Add Arguments box, type the following text.

/ C TITLE [Alert Title] & ECHO. & ECHO. & ECHO [Alert Message] & ECHO. & ECHO. & TIMEOUT [alert duration]

From the above standard text You will need to change [Notification Title], [Notification Message] and [Notification].

An example of the correct wording of the text would be:

/ C TITLE Energy Notification & ECHO. & ECHO. & ECHO Backup performed & ECHO. & ECHO. & TIMEOUT 120

The fields you need to change are quite self-explanatory. [Notification Title] and [Notification Message] are simple texts with braces or absent words that you will put whatever words you want. They can be written either in Greek or English. The result is a Command prompt window that writes the following:

[Timeout] sets, in seconds, the amount of time that the Command Prompt window will remain open until it is automatically shut down. You can also close it by pressing any key.

Step 7. Press the OK button to save your change.

If for some reason you do not want the window to close by itself and instead you only want to close it manually, then instead of / C write / K and skip & ECHO. & ECHO. & TIMEOUT [alert duration]. That is:

/ C TITLE Energy Notification & ECHO. & ECHO. & ECHO Backup completed

You can also see the time it took place to put that TIME within the arguments. So if you write it:

cmd / C TITLE Energy Notification & ECHO. & ECHO. & ECHO At% TIME% exactly & ECHO. & ECHO. & ECHO Backup performed & ECHO. & ECHO. & TIMEOUT 120
