How can I start the program at a certain time CMD, with examples?


In Windows you can start programs via AT at a certain time without additional software programs! 

Start the cmd.exe and use the command "AT" in the combination of the program path to the program to be started!

Here are some examples of the time-controlled start of programs on the Windows computer with Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 7. This command can be used with all other Windows operating systems: Server 2016/2012/2008 etc.

Start the cmd.exe in Admin Mode! or Hot-Tip:  ... ColorConsole!

EXAMPLE 1:
Starting the program at 21:45. 
Here in the example it is the Internet Explorer  , which should be started at 21:45 clock!  


C:\Windows-7>at 21:45 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
 


EXAMPLE 2:
If you also want to start Microsoft's WordPad at 21:47 2 minutes later:


C:\Windows-7>at 21:47 "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"
 

EXAMPLE 3:
The listing of the open commands goes through the simple input of AT without arguments! 

C:\Windows>at

Status-ID   Day                     Time          Command
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3   Today                   20:47         "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"
8   Today                   21:45         "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
9   Today                   21:47         "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

EXAMPLE 4:
Canceling the timed program start command, eg No. 3!


C:\Windows>at 8 /delete

EXAMPLE 5:
List again by simply typing AT.

C:\Windows>at

Status-ID   Day                     Time          Command
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8   Today                   21:45         "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
9   Today                   21:47         "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"


EXAMPLE 6: 
And so you delete all timed commands, in this case, the automatic program starts in one fell swoop! 


C:\Windows>at /delete

EXAMPLE 7: 
SYou want a particular program to start 23:59 on 31.12.2018! 


at 23:59 31.12.2018 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"


EXAMPLE 8: 
You want a particular program to start every Monday at 8:00 am
 


at 08:00 /EVERY:Mo  "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"


EXAMPLE 9: 
You want a particular program to start at 9:00 AM every day
 

at 09:00 /EVERY:So,Sa,Do,Fr,Mi,Mo,Di "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
