Schedule Trello App to auto load

[Paul]

I'm new to Trello but find it useful. I am running Windows 10 and Windows 11 on different machines and have set the app to automatically load whenever I start Windows. Since I sometimes leave my machine on overnight I would also like to schedule the app to load when I unlock my machine. I tried using Task Scheduler with the app in the windowsapps folder but it doesn't start. I also tried scheduling it from launching a shortcut and gives me a catastrohic failure. Any ideas or suggestion?

Hi @Paul !

Scheduling an app to launch on unlock is more of a Windows thing than a Trello one. I found a similar question on the Microsoft forums that might help you out. You can check it out here: Microsoft Forum Question. They discuss using Task Scheduler for apps from the Microsoft Store, which sounds like what you're trying to do. Hopefully, that gives you some pointers! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the suggestion. That lead me in the right direction but it took a little more than what they explained there. What ended up working was to :

1: Create a shortcut on the desktop to run the app. When I attempted to setup a task to execute the shortcut when I unlocked the computer it gave me an error message though and would not let me setup the task to run, so

2: I created a bat file on my computer pointing to the shortcut. There were only 2 lines in the bat file:
@echo off
start %userprofile%\Desktop\trello.lnk

3: Scheduled the bat file to execute whenever I unlock my computer. Works fine. Hopefully someone else will find this useful.
