Task Scheduler Studio is a modern WinUI 3 reimagining of the built-in Windows Task Scheduler. It reads and writes the live Windows Task Scheduler store through the Task Scheduler V2 COM API, so everything you create is a normal scheduled task: visible in taskschd.msc, queryable with schtasks, and fully interoperable with the built-in tool. There is no separate database. Create a task in either tool and it appears, runs, and edits identically in the other. The app pairs that engine with a clean Fluent interface and, optionally, AI. A built-in GitHub Copilot assistant lets you create and manage tasks in plain English, and a bundled local MCP server exposes the same engine to your favorite AI agents, so both the UI and agents always behave identically. What you can do • Browse a folder tree and a searchable, sortable task list, with a rich detail pane showing triggers, actions, raw XML, and per-task run history. • Create and edit tasks in a tabbed editor, visual editor, or drop down to raw Task Scheduler XML for full fidelity with anything the forms do not cover. • Build triggers visually: one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, at startup, at logon, on idle, on an event, or on session-state change, with repetition intervals and expiry. • Set run conditions (power, network, idle) and run as a different user (interactive, stored password, S4U, or SYSTEM). • Duplicate tasks, start from templates, run multi-select bulk actions, and back up or restore a whole folder of tasks as a zip of XML. • See what runs next in an Upcoming view, and get a toast when a task you started finishes. • Pin routine tasks as one-tap Quick Launch buttons, or use the optional floating desktop widget. • Create and manage tasks in plain English with the built-in GitHub Copilot assistant, which runs a guided, locked-down flow restricted to scheduled-task work. • Let AI agents manage your tasks through the bundled local MCP server, backed by the same shared engine. • Personalize the look with Mica Alt, Mica, or Acrylic backdrops and System, Light, or Dark themes, remembered across restarts.
