您可以在这里改善启动时间同时保持所有任务不变的是，使用任务管理器(Manager)禁用一些启动项，并使用任务计划程序在(Task Scheduler)Startup之后稍微延迟地安排这些任务。这将使您的 PC 以更快的速度启动，同时仍确保您想要发生的所有任务都会发生。这只是一种情况。工作日程的改变可能会保证你上下移动一些任务以最大限度地提高效率，或者你也可能只是推迟了一些事情。无论如何(Anyway)，让我们从教程开始。
如何在Windows 11/10
您可以通过以下步骤使用任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)延迟Windows 10中的计划任务：(Windows 10)
- 打开任务计划程序
- 创建任务
- 设置新触发器
- 转到高级设置
- 选择延迟任务
- 关闭任务计划程序。
延迟任务的选项预先不可用，只能通过正常的任务创建向导(Task creation wizard)访问。这是你必须做的：
在您的 PC 上搜索并打开任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)（只需从任务栏上的搜索窗格中搜索它），然后在右侧的“操作(Actions)”标题下，单击“创建(Create)任务”。这将打开创建任务小部件。在“名称：”空白区域旁边，命名您要延迟启动的任务。您也可以在此处描述任务。按确定(Press Ok)，您可以继续设置此任务的触发器。
触发器会告诉您的 PC 您希望何时启动任务。单击(Click)触发器(Triggers)头部，在底部，您会找到一个“新建”按钮。这将允许您设置新的触发器。打开下拉菜单，然后从选项列表中选择“启动时”。
设置新触发器后，您可以调整此任务的高级设置，其中之一是此任务的延迟。
选中“延迟任务：”框，然后从下拉列表中选择最适合您的延迟。如您所见，它的范围可以在 30 秒到一天之间。完成后单击(Click)“确定”。
现在，单击“操作”选项卡，然后再次按“新建”。在这里，您可以设置您希望此任务执行的操作；提供的三个选项是启动程序、发送电子邮件或广播消息。使用这些选项，您可以播放歌曲、发送电子邮件（现已弃用）、运行增强型磁盘清理(Run Enhanced Disk Cleanup Too)、安排批处理文件、将 PC 从睡眠状态唤醒、 更新 Windows Defender(update Windows Defender)、 让 Windows 畅所欲言等。
浏览(Browse)您要执行的程序（如有必要，添加任何其他参数），然后单击“确定”继续。
您还可以在此处提供一些其他设置，例如仅当您的计算机空闲一段时间后才启动任务，或者仅当您的计算机使用交流电源运行时才启动任务。
将任务配置为所需规格后，按“确定”保存。条件(Conditions)和设置(Settings)选项卡都是可选的，您无需更改或启用任何内容即可继续操作。
现在您已经创建了您的选择，最好验证该任务是否正常运行。您可以通过打开主任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)窗口，右键单击刚刚创建的任务，然后单击运行来做到这一点。在这里(Hereon)，每次你打开你的电脑时，这个特定的任务都会延迟执行。
我希望我已经为您提供了方便的过程，并且您现在能够以您认为最方便的方式管理您的计划任务。

How to delay a Scheduled Task in Task Scheduler in Windows 11/10
People who use their Windows 11/10 computer as a professional resort must know what an important role the Task Scheduler can play. Deploying your efforts in work may require you to perform certain tasks daily, and you can create and automate these tasks with the help of the Task Scheduler. Today, I am going to be guiding you through the steps you need to take to delay a scheduled task in Windows 10.
It’s possible that this title may have caught you off-guard, but there’s a good chance some of you were looking for this. There is one drawback to using Task Scheduler to schedule tasks on Startup. This isn’t explicitly addressed very often, but having a lot of tasks set up to take place on Startup can delay or set back your PC’s startup time. If you are experiencing similar issues, then you always have the choice of eliminating some of the tasks, but that really beats the purpose of having a service perform your tasks for you.

What you can do here to improve your startup time while keeping all your tasks intact is, disable a few startup items using your Task Manager and use the Task Scheduler to schedule those tasks with a bit of delay after Startup. This will allow your PC to startup at a quicker pace, while still making sure that all the tasks you wanted to happen would happen. This is just one case. A change in your working schedule could warrant you to move a few tasks up or down to maximize your efficiency, or you may just be putting something off too. Anyway, let’s begin with the tutorial.
How to delay a Scheduled Task in Windows 11/10
You can delay a scheduled task in Windows 10 using the Task Scheduler in these steps:
- Open the Task Scheduler
- Create a task
- Set a new trigger
- Go to Advanced Settings
- Select Delay task
- Close Task Scheduler.
The option to delay a task isn’t available upfront, and can only be accessed via the normal Task creation wizard. Here’s what you have to do for that:
Search for and open the Task Scheduler on your PC (simply search for it from the search pane on the taskbar), and under the Actions head to your right, click on ‘Create task’. This will open the create task widget. Next to the ‘Name:’ blank space, name the task that you want to initiate with a delay. You can also describe the task here. Press Ok so you can get on with setting the trigger for this task.
The trigger tells your PC when it is you want the task to be initiated. Click on the Triggers head and on the bottom, you’ll find a ‘New’ button. This will allow you to set a new trigger. Open the drop-down and from the list of options, select ‘At Startup’.
Once you have set up a new trigger, you can adjust the advanced settings of this task, one of them being a delay in this task.
Check the ‘delay task for:’ box and from the drop-down, choose the most suitable delay for you. As you can see, it can range anywhere between 30 seconds and a day. Click on ‘Ok’ once you’re done.
Now, click on the ‘Actions’ tab and press ‘New’ again. Here, you get to set the action you want this task to perform; the three options offered are starting a program, sending an e-mail, or broadcasting a message. Using these options, you can play a song, send an email (deprecated now), Run Enhanced Disk Cleanup Too, schedule a Batch File, wake up PC from Sleep, update Windows Defender, make Windows speak out, etc.
Browse for the program that you want to execute (add any additional arguments, if necessary) and click on Ok to proceed.
You have some additional settings on offer here too, like initiating the task only if your computer is idle for some preset time, or starting the task only if your computer is running on AC power.
Once you’ve configured the task to your desired specifications, press ‘Ok’ to save it. Both the Conditions and Settings tabs are optional and you can move on without changing or enabling anything there.
Now that you have created your choice, it’s best to verify that the task is running properly. You can do that by opening the main Task Scheduler window, right-clicking on the task that you’ve just created, and clicking on run. Hereon out, every time you turn your PC on, this particular task will execute itself with a delay.
I hope I had made the process convenient for you and that you will now be able to manage your scheduled tasks the way you find most convenient.
