Hello everyone, :LOL::LOL:

I have a bunch of stuff running on my task scheduler and sometimes something with my excel programs will get hung up which causes all other programs to stop as well.

I was looking online and found that it might be possible to use 'Notepad' to kill excel and have it run in the task scheduler but it does not seem to be working for me

this is what i have in Notepad:

taskkill /f /im "Excel.xlsm"

any help would be much appreciated
