设置一次性提醒很容易。您可以在日历上标记日期、创建闹钟等。但是如果您想定期收到关于同一任务的提醒怎么办？每周(Weekly)，每天，甚至每隔几分钟？
这并不容易实现。Android或iOS上的大多数提醒应用程序不包含设置重复提醒的简单方法，让您手动输入每个日期或时间。
如果您想要在几分钟（或几秒钟）内重复的提醒，事情会变得更加棘手，因为没有应用程序旨在频繁地提醒用户。因此，如果您一直在努力寻找设置重复提醒的方法，那么本指南适合您。
如何在 Windows 上设置每周(Weekly)或每日(Daily) 提醒(Reminders)
在Windows(Windows) PC上设置重复任务提醒的最简单方法是使用Cortana。微软自己的 AI 助手可以安排任务并创建定时提醒。与 iPhone 的Siri不同，语音命令并不是控制它的唯一方式——您还可以输入命令来执行它们。
- 首先在您的 PC 上打开Cortana 。您可以在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中搜索该应用程序，或者如果启用了“Hey Cortana ”语音命令，则可以使用它。
- Cortana界面类似于聊天窗口。再一次，您可以继续说出您的命令或输入命令以指示Cortana。
- 由于Cortana可以解释自然语言命令，您只需告诉 AI 助手为特定任务设置提醒，指定时间和频率（明天、每天等）
- Cortana将在指定时间内在微软(Microsoft)待办中创建一个任务。您可以自己编辑任务以更改详细信息或删除提醒。
请记住(Remember)，虽然此方法是设置提醒最直接的方法，但它不是很可定制。例如，您可以尝试让Cortana每小时设置一次提醒，但这不起作用。
如果您希望设置以分钟或秒为间隔重复的提醒，则需要另一种方法。
使用任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)设置重复提醒
有经验的 Windows(Experienced Windows)用户可能还记得Task Scheduler，这是一个允许您提前设置任务的内置实用程序。这种方法的问题在于，该工具的大部分功能已被弃用。
(Microsoft)自其旗舰操作系统的最后几个版本以来，微软一直在逐步淘汰任务计划程序，而在(Task Scheduler)Windows 11中，它只不过是一个过时的外壳。
您不能再显示消息或发送电子邮件，仅限于在预定时间启动程序。不过，对于倾向于尝试的用户，以下是步骤：
- 在开始菜单中搜索任务计划程序。(Task Scheduler)
- 正如您已经从界面中看出的那样，该实用程序相当陈旧。选择创建基本任务...(Create Basic Task… )选项开始。
- 首先输入任务的名称和描述。这可以是任何东西——它与它的功能无关。
- 接下来是触发器，这里基本可以设置定时任务的频率。您可以选择每日、每周或每月任务。
- 现在您可以设置任务开始执行的时间和日期。
- 最后，您可以决定要执行的操作……尽管实际上这里没有太多选择。发送电子邮件或显示消息的选项已被弃用，并且不再起作用。您只能选择要打开的程序。
- 如果您确实选择了显示消息选项，您将可以配置消息的内容，但任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)会在尝试应用它时抛出错误。
如何设置更频繁的重复提醒
使用Microsoft Cortana创建每周或每日提醒很好，但如果您想设置更频繁重复的提醒怎么办？不幸的是，没有任何应用程序 - 内置或其他 - 可以为您做到这一点。
这就是Autohotkey的用武之地。主要是一个宏创建工具，Autohotkey -或通常称为AHK - 可用于重新绑定键或设置热键(rebind keys or set up hotkeys)（键盘快捷键）。但是，对我们来说更重要的是，AHK还可以用于设置重复性任务以自动执行。
- 要在Windows(Windows)上创建定期提醒，请从官方网站(official website)下载AHK。
- 只需运行下载的安装文件即可在您的计算机上安装应用程序。
- 现在您可以开始创建AHK脚本了。只需(Simply)右键单击空文件夹（甚至桌面屏幕）中的任意位置，然后选择新建(New )>自动热键脚本。( Autohotkey Script.)
- 将其命名为您喜欢的任何名称，然后右键单击脚本并选择打开(Open With)方式>记事本(Notepad)以编辑脚本。
- 忽略脚本中已有的代码，只需在其后输入以下内容：
#Persistent
SetTimer，提醒，50000
返回
提醒：
MsgBox 记得做你的任务！
返回
这将每 50 秒播放一次声音提醒您（上述持续时间以毫秒为单位）。您可以增加或减少此时间以满足您的要求。完成后保存文件。
- 您现在只需双击该文件即可运行此脚本。或者，您可以右键单击脚本并选择打开(Open)以运行它。
- 在您指定的时间后，将弹出一个带有提醒的消息框。您可以单击“确定(Okay )”关闭消息，并且在持续时间后会再次显示新的提醒。
当然，这是对 AHK 能力的初步展示。您可以继续添加声音警报并将脚本绑定到特定的热键以轻松打开或关闭它。可以使用各种消息和持续时间设置多个此类警报，以提醒您重复任务。(Multiple)
在 Windows 上设置重复提醒的最佳方式是什么？
Cortana提醒是创建在一周中的几天或每月的每一天重复的提醒的好方法。你只需告诉Cortana提醒时间，它就会自动在微软待办(Microsoft To Do)中创建一个新任务。
但是，当您希望每隔几分钟左右提醒自己一次时，Cortana并没有多大帮助。很少有任务调度应用程序提供重复提醒，而且几乎没有一个应用程序能以如此短的间隔工作。
为此，您最好的办法是Autohotkey。数以百万计的人安全地使用它来创建键盘宏和自动执行任务，它可以通过几行脚本设置重复提醒。
How to Set Up Recurring Reminders On Windows
Setting up one-time reminders is eаѕy. Υou can mark the date on your calendar, creаte an alarm, etc. But whаt if you want to be reminded periodically about the same taѕk? Weekly, daily, or perhаps evеn every few minutes?
That is not that easy to implement. Most reminder apps on Android or iOS don’t include an easy way to set up repeating reminders, leaving you to input each date or time manually.
Things get even trickier if you want a reminder that repeats in a matter of minutes (or seconds), as there is no application designed to remind the user that frequently. So if you have been beating your head against the wall trying to figure out a way to set recurring reminders, this guide is for you.
How to Set Weekly or Daily Reminders on Windows
The easiest way to set up reminders for repeating tasks on a Windows PC is to use Cortana. Microsoft’s own AI assistant can schedule tasks and create timed reminders. And unlike iPhone’s Siri, voice commands aren’t the only way to control it – you can also type in your commands to have them executed.
- Begin by opening Cortana on your PC. You can search for the app in the Start Menu or just use the “Hey Cortana” voice command if you have it enabled.
- The Cortana interface resembles a chat window. Once again, you can continue speaking your commands or typing them in to direct Cortana.
- As Cortana can interpret natural language commands, you can just tell the AI assistant to set a reminder for a particular task, specifying the time and frequency (tomorrow, every day, etc.)
- Cortana will create a task in Microsoft To Do for the time specified. You can edit the task yourself to change the details or remove the reminder.
Remember that while this method is the most straightforward way to set reminders, it is not very customizable. For example, you can try telling Cortana to set a reminder every hour, but that wouldn’t work.
If you are looking to set reminders that repeat at an interval of minutes or seconds, you need another method.
Using the Task Scheduler to Set Up Recurring Reminders
Experienced Windows users might recall the Task Scheduler, a built-in utility that allows you to set up tasks in advance. The problem with this approach is that most of the features of this tool have already been deprecated.
Microsoft has been gradually phasing out the Task Scheduler since the last few releases of its flagship operating system, and in Windows 11 it is nothing but an outdated husk.
You can no longer display messages or send emails, being limited to only starting a program at a scheduled time. Still, for users inclined to try it out, here are the steps:
- Search for the Task Scheduler in the Start menu.
- As you can already tell from the interface, the utility is rather old. Select the Create Basic Task… option to begin.
- Start by entering a name and description of the task. This can be anything – it has no bearing on its functioning.
- Next is the trigger, where you can basically set the frequency of the scheduled task. You have the option of daily, weekly, or monthly tasks.
- Now you can set the time and date at which the task is to start executing.
- Finally, you can decide on the action to be performed… though in truth there is not much of a choice here. The options to send an email or display a message have been deprecated, and will not work anymore. You can only select a program to be opened.
- If you do select the display message option, you will get to configure the contents of the message, though Task Scheduler will throw up an error upon trying to apply it.
How to Set Up More Frequent Recurring Reminders
Using Microsoft Cortana to create weekly or daily reminders is fine, but what if you want to set reminders that repeat more frequently? Unfortunately, there are no apps – built-in or otherwise – that can do this for you.
That is where Autohotkey comes in. Primarily a macro creation tool, Autohotkey – or AHK as it is generally called – can be used to rebind keys or set up hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts). But, more importantly for us, AHK can also be used to set up repetitive tasks to perform automatically.
- To create a recurring reminder on Windows, download AHK from the official website.
- Just run the downloaded setup file to install the application on your computer.
- Now you can start creating AHK scripts. Simply right-click anywhere in an empty folder (or even your desktop screen) and select New > Autohotkey Script.
- Name it anything you like, then right-click on the script and select Open With > Notepad to edit the script.
- Ignore the code already in the script and just enter the following after it:
#Persistent
SetTimer, Reminder, 50000
return
Reminder:
MsgBox Remember to do your task!
return
This will play a sound to alert you every 50 seconds (the duration above is given in milliseconds). You can increase or decrease this time to suit your requirements. Save the file once you are done.
- You can run this script now just by double-clicking on the file. Alternatively, you can right-click on the script and select Open to run it.
- A message box with the reminder will pop up after the time you specified. You can click Okay to close the message, and a new reminder will show up after the duration again.
This is, of course, an elementary demonstration of AHK’s capabilities. You can go on to add sound alerts and bind the script to a particular hotkey to toggle it on or off easily. Multiple such alerts can be set up with various messages and durations to remind you of recurring tasks.
What Is the Best Way to Set Up Repeating Reminders on Windows?
Cortana reminders are a great way to create reminders that repeat on days of the week or every day of the month. You just tell Cortana the reminder time, and it automatically creates a new task in Microsoft To Do.
But when you are looking to remind yourself every few minutes or so, Cortana isn’t of much help. Very few task scheduling apps offer recurring reminders, and almost none of them work with such short intervals.
For that, your best recourse is Autohotkey. Used safely by millions to create keyboard macros and automate tasks, it can set up a repeating reminder with a couple of lines of script.
