You can also set the reminder to repeat at the specific time like everyday or first Monday of the Month etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: If you want to configure it to start when you log-in to your system, just mention a time when your system will be switched off.

Click on Finish and you are all set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the Task Scheduler takes multiple steps to configure the message and thereby takes a lot of time and effort. Also, the feature is a deprecated feature. This  means that it may or may not function because it is no longer supported by Microsoft. If you are using it, you are taking a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notezilla on the other hand, is reliable, simple and quick to configure. All the options are under a single window so you do not have to go back and forth through multiple windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how about giving it a try today.
