FAQ about features

What is the purpose of mutual task exclusion? Will it result in stacked tasks?

The mutual task exclusion feature specifies that a task in the Executing or Paused state cannot be retriggered even if the next trigger time is reached. The scheduling status is marked as Skipped. Therefore, the feature will not result in stacked tasks.

What is the purpose of task grouping?

Task grouping aims to divide scheduled tasks based on different systems. It is different from the general concept of grouping in open-source task scheduling services. If you perform task grouping in Task Scheduler (TS), different systems have different tasks to be scheduled.
