Task Scheduler, the built-in utility from Microsoft lets you schedule any task to initiate automatically. For example, you can create a task for your monthly bills and schedule it and it will automatically open at the scheduled time. All these entries you make to create a task are stored in the Task Scheduler event log but you need to enable the history to check these entries. With just a few tweaks you can easily enable, view, and clear the Task Scheduler history in your Windows 11/10 system.
