Schedule Powershell script to run every hour

Question

Please check this picture as following

I was looking at Window task scheduler to schedule my script to run each hour. The script will do some checks and will send an email .

I did not find options to schedule it for each 1 hour. I only found for every day, daily, weekly and so on.

scheduled task you don't need powershell for this. trigger -> repeat task every hour — lxx

create the task then -> new trigger -> daily -> repeat task every hour is one way of doing it. Or do it on commandline — lxx

Task scheduler does show the option to configure hourly trigger as shown below.

Another option you have is to run your PowerShell script as a Service and add the logic in your PowerShell script to trigger your main code once every hour.
