Repeat every 5 minutes is not working

[alphaman]

hello

I have set my macro to repeat every 5 minutes, ticked the days for it to run and save it.

I then start the maccro and it does it's job. But the repeat every 5 minutes is not working.

I am new to macro scheduler and am using the 30 day eval version, not sure if that makes a difference.

TIA

Could you post a screenshot of your Scheduler settings please?

It's just occurred to me you mentioned you started the Macro manually. This won't cause the schedule to advance because the schedule has not yet triggered the Macro.

If you were to allow that schedule to run at 10.42, it should schedule it again for 10.47.

What happens if you change the schedule so it runs 2 minutes from now? Does it advance?

If this is a macro that can't be run until the weekend you can add an Exit on Line 1 so the script terminates immediately.

Failing that, here are some other possible causes :

- Does the script finish, or is it left running?
- Are you leaving the machine unlocked?
- Is the machine left logged in?
- If using terminal server/remote desktop are you making sure you are not disconnecting or minimizing the client?
