I'm trying to run a .cmd script that I've created that calls an executable created from python code that uploads to an AWS S3 bucket. I'm getting that error code. I uninstalled my intel support driver utility and I ran sfc scannow and corrected the errors, but I still get this in task scheduler. How do I fix this? It pipes output from the .cmd script to a log file, but it's empty, so that's no help. When I run the script manually by double clicking on it, it runs fine. It's being run as an administrator, too.
It pipes output from the .cmd script to a log file,
Are you capturing both stdout and stderr?
Configure the task to execute program cmd.exe. In the arguments field set it like this.
/c c:\scripts\myscript.cmd 1>c:\scripts\myscript.log 2>&1

In Start Seach type taskschd.msc and hit the Enter key.
Inside your Task Scheduler, navigate to the task that is creating the issue, right-click on it and select Properties from the context menu.
Inside the Properties screen of the task, go to the Settings tab and change the drop-down menu at the bottom of the screen to Stop the existing instance.
Click OK.
@MotoX80 I have the piping of the output happening in my script, since I determine the name of the log file using the current time and date. I do it like this. I tried what you said without the piping of the log file, but it didn't work. Like I said, it works when I double click on the .cmd file in file explorer. Thanks for the help.
Here's what my script does:
echo on
SET CURRENTTIME=%TIME%
IF "%CURRENTTIME:~0,1%"==" " (SET CURRENTTIME=0%CURRENTTIME:~1%)
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET TIMESTAMP=%%C-%%A-%%B_%CURRENTTIME%)
SET TIMESTAMP=%TIMESTAMP::=_%
SET LOGNAME="%AWS_LOG_LOCATION%System_Backup_%TIMESTAMP%.log"
echo "LOGNAME IS " %LOGNAME%
"%AWS_COPY_BACKUPS_EXECUTABLE%" -b:"F:\My Backups\New System Backup\\" -p:"[{'bucket': '%C_DRIVE_BUCKET%'},{'file_mask': 'C_VOL-.*'},{'files': 3},{'duration': 1}]" -l:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_copy_backups': 'DEBUG'}]" -2:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_pc_backup': 'DEBUG'}]" -t:"C:\Temp_Download\\" 1> %LOGNAME% 2>& 1
Add a DIR command to verify that the script can see the F drive. The task scheduler does not perform a full user logon, just an impersonation. That drive may not be getting mapped.
@MotoX80 I added the directory command to my script, but the log file is still empty. The log file goes to the H drive, but the directory command is of the F drive. The script looks like this now:
echo on
SET CURRENTTIME=%TIME%
IF "%CURRENTTIME:~0,1%"==" " (SET CURRENTTIME=0%CURRENTTIME:~1%)
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET TIMESTAMP=%%C-%%A-%%B_%CURRENTTIME%)
SET TIMESTAMP=%TIMESTAMP::=_%
SET LOGNAME="%AWS_LOG_LOCATION%System_Backup_%TIMESTAMP%.log"
echo "LOGNAME IS " %LOGNAME%
dir "F:\My Backups\New System Backup" 1> %LOGNAME% 2>& 1
"%AWS_COPY_BACKUPS_EXECUTABLE%" -b:"F:\My Backups\New System Backup\\" -p:"[{'bucket': '%C_DRIVE_BUCKET%'},{'file_mask': 'C_VOL-.*'},{'files': 3},{'duration': 1}]" -l:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_copy_backups': 'DEBUG'}]" -2:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_pc_backup': 'DEBUG'}]" -t:"C:\Temp_Download\\" 1> %LOGNAME% 2>& 1
@MotoX80 I changed my script to append as follows and it did put the directory output in the log file.
echo on
SET CURRENTTIME=%TIME%
IF "%CURRENTTIME:~0,1%"==" " (SET CURRENTTIME=0%CURRENTTIME:~1%)
FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET TIMESTAMP=%%C-%%A-%%B_%CURRENTTIME%)
SET TIMESTAMP=%TIMESTAMP::=_%
SET LOGNAME="%AWS_LOG_LOCATION%System_Backup_%TIMESTAMP%.log"
echo "LOGNAME IS " %LOGNAME%
dir "F:\My Backups\New System Backup" 1>> %LOGNAME% 2>>& 1
"%AWS_COPY_BACKUPS_EXECUTABLE%" -b:"F:\My Backups\New System Backup\\" -p:"[{'bucket': '%C_DRIVE_BUCKET%'},{'file_mask': 'C_VOL-.*'},{'files': 3},{'duration': 1}]" -l:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_copy_backups': 'DEBUG'}]" -2:"[{'boto3': 'DEBUG'}, {'botocore': 'DEBUG'}, {'aws_pc_backup': 'DEBUG'}]" -t:"C:\Temp_Download\\" 1>> %LOGNAME% 2>>& 1
You probably have the same issue with H and F. Add the redirect to the task arguments and put the log file on the C drive. Add some display's so at a minimum you get the start and stop times.
@echo %date% %time% Task is starting.
dir H:\
dir F:\
.... the rest of your script.
@echo Last return code was %errorlevel%
@echo %date% %time% Task is ending.
@MotoX80 ok.
I can't put the log and script here. I'll attach them. Thanks for the help. I renamed the .cmd file, of course.

If your bat file can access the F and H drives, that's good. That is a common issue when running a task.
Are you running the task with the same account that can successfully run it on the desktop? If not, can you use the runas command to launch a command prompt using those credentials and try to run aws_copy_backups.exe from that command prompt. Does "aws_copy_backups.exe /?" produce any output.
https://borncity.com/win/2022/05/11/windows-11-update-kb5013943-erzeugt-fehler-0xc0000135/
That site says that the 135 error is a dll not found error. Add a "path" statement to the bat file and compare the folder names that the scheduled task sees versus the folders that an interactive desktop command prompt sees. You might be missing an AWS or Python folder.
If all else fails, download and run Process Monitor.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
In the filter menu, add an entry for "process name is aws_copy_backups.exe". Look for "file not found" events where the system is looking through all of the folders in your system path trying to find a dll.
@MotoX80 I figured it out, with your help, of course. I was running it under a different account, since my user id is a Microsoft account, and I didn't know how to specify that in the task scheduler, so I created a different account. I dumped the path and it didn't have my python directory in the path. Anyway, I brought up the dialog under advanced and chose the Administrators account and that worked. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the help. I couldn't have done this without you.
Excellent.
@S.Sengupta I tried that and that didn't work either. I still get the same return code. Thanks for the help.
