Powershell is unable to execute a routine script, even though it is already enabled to be executed manually. How to solve it?

Hey guys,

I have a script with Powershell routines to run periodically.

I have already applied the following commands to make it run.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

dir c:\Support\routines.ps1 | unblock-file -confirm

This script runs manually without any problems: I open PS and type "c:\Support\routines.ps1" without "". Works 100%

When placed in the task scheduler, the blue screen appears and nothing else happens. It's set up to not be hidden or anything else. It simply must be performed once/day and that's it.

Would anyone know how to make it run on the OS in question (Windows 11), given that the only thing that remains is a blue screen that never closes?

Thanks!

Confirm if your task scheduler Action is actually:

A common mistake is copying the entire command line into the Command field, instead of splitting it into Command & Parameters.

Example: Create a task to run the script at system startup


xxx.ps1

Set-ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Scope Process -Force
Import-Module D:\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\TaskScript\TaskScript.psm1
TaskScriptCreate -taskName "OSFMount" -TaskScript '"C:\Program Files\OSFMount\osfmount.ps1"'
