Error Code 0x1 when Running Batch File from Task Scheduler in Windows 11

Try this solution:

Check the path and "Start in":

    Task Properties > Actions > Edit.

    Make sure the path in "Program/script" is correct and fill in the "Start in (Optional)" field with the path to the folder where the script is located.

Set the highest privileges:

    Task Properties > General > check "Run with highest privileges".

Check account permissions:

    Make sure that the account under which the task runs (in the General tab) has full permissions to the target files and folders.

Use exit /b 0 in batch scripts:

    If the error comes directly from the script, add exit /b 0 at the end of the script to suppress the error if nothing is wrong or to allow the script to exit correctly.

Summary: Error 0x1 is often about file unavailability or permissions, so checking paths and rights is key to resolving it.

Hi @Anthony, Alexander

The error code 0x1 you are getting when scheduling a batch file to run every morning at 9:00am from the task scheduler on Windows 11 seems to be a privilege issue when executing the task. You can try the following steps to fix it:

1. Open the Task Scheduler and navigate to the task that is giving you the error.
2. Right-click on the task and select "Properties".
3. In the "General" tab, make sure that the "Run with highest privileges" checkbox is checked.
4. In the "Actions" tab, make sure that the "Program/script" field contains the correct path to the batch file you want to run.
5. In the "Start in (optional)" field, make sure that the folder path is correct.
6. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Hope the information is helpful.
