Windows Scheduled task succeeds but returns result 0x1

It seems many users are having issues with this. Here are some fixes:

• Right click on your task > "Properties" > "Actions" > "Edit" | Put ONLY the file name under 'Program/Script', no quotes and ONLY the directory under 'Start in' as described, again no quotes.

• Right click on your task > "Properties" > "General" | Test with any/all of the following:

  1. "Run with highest privileges" (test both options)
  2. "Run wheter user is logged on or not" (test both options)
  3. Check that "Configure for" is set to your machine's OS version
  4. Make sure the user account running the program has the right permissions

I found that I have ticked "Run whether user is logged on or not" and it returns a silent failure.

When I changed tick "Run only when user is logged on" instead it works for me.
