how to execute a batch when computer is on IDLE

Actually, I have used a similar TaskKill command. This is for a window called Fred.

Code:

taskkill /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq Fred"

You do not need to add any more quotes if the window title has spaces. The example I found was for a window titled Keep display on

Code:

taskkill /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq Keep display on"

that is very interesting, never knew that was possible. whenever I went into task manager I always skip the processes tab and go straight for details tab but I guess it has its use lol. so naming the command window i'll give that a try, ty!

That code I posted was not about Task mgr.
All task mgr can do is show you the command line so you can see the name of the batch file/PS1/VBS that is running.

When I posted the code about identifying scripts by their window titles [post #59], I said I didn't have any notes about using the same technique for killing scripts.
I then found that I was using precisely that several times every day. I had forgotten that it used the window title method.
So that is what I added in post post #60.

just reporting back after about a week of usage.

its working great, there are several occasion seeing it working while middle of zoom meeting or gaming, reset within few seconds and continue to work and havent had any BSOD for a total of 30 days system uptime. prior it would last maybe at most 2 weeks if lucky but now seems to work.

also Im starting to wonder if adapter reset is not due to the adapter but the computer, since another PC also have similar adapter.
