How to set up Task Scheduler in Windows 11 for automation

Task Scheduler in Windows 11 covers scenarios for which people usually install third-party utilities: updating programs via WinGet and launching apps on a schedule. In a new guide, they showed how to use it to set up automation of routine processes. They separately covered scheduled program updates via WinGet. Another scenario is delayed launch: an app starts not immediately after signing in, but after a specified time. All of this is done with built-in Windows 11 tools, without third-party programs. If you need to offload routine work, start with Task Scheduler: it is already installed, and the tasks you set up then run on their own.
