Windows Task Scheduler showing me Error: No such file in directory while running an python exe file.

Question

Windows Task Scheduler showing me Error: No such file in directory while running an python exe file.
I have created a python exe file using pyinstaller when I create a task for this exe file, the exe file checks a excel(.xlsx) file in directory and write it in that file. So it runs when I do it manually, but when I do it by scheduling the task, it does not work.
PLease reply early.

Hi,
1.Is the file path containing a mapped network drive?

If so, please try to replace by "\server\share\folder\filename.ext" instead of the mapped drive.

2.Here is a similar case when running scripts via windows task scheduler and the resolution shared is to add "cd customized drive" into the script since Task scheduler loads the C:\Windows by default as a directory.
