Windows 10: Launching a program when a USB drive is inserted.using Task Scheduler

I used Event Viewer to figure out the event that is triggered when a USB drive is inserted into my Microsoft Surface Pro 9 running Windows 11. I then attached a task to that particular event to start a program, however, even though I see that specific event is logged in the Event Viewer, the task to launch the program doesn't get executed. I have restarted my laptop several times, yet it doesn't work. Microsoft-Windows-DriverFrameworks-UserMode/Operational/2101 is the event I used but I have also used 2106. When I go to the associated task in task scheduler and I run it, it successfully launch

Task Scheduler in Windows 10

Here are some observations:

• You use drive M: as a target. Are you sure this drive exists in the context of the scheduled task?
• I do not know if the task's account name is correct in your domain environment.
• To check if the batch file gets launched, insert this code line right at the start:
  
  echo Task ran on %date% at %time% >> C:\Batch_Files\Log.txt

App Runs Properly but Win10Pro Task Scheduler Cannot Run It

We have a requirement for extremely accurate computer clock time and use a small app that that, when launched, checks with a pool of time servers and syncs our computer clock. We want to schedule this app to run every couple of hours.

The app runs properly when I launch it manually. I created a task in Task Scheduler to do this automatically every two hours and, when I manually run the task within Task Scheduler, it also runs properly. However, it will not run on on its own on a schedule.
Task Scheduler fails to launch it.

On a different computer, another app is able to launch it when that app is launched but, again, Task Scheduler fails to launch it on a schedule.

The task is configured in Task Scheduler as follows:

GENERAL

• When running the task, use the following user account: it's my own account, and I am an Administrator on the computer
• Run only when user is logged on
• Run with highest privileges
• Configure for Windows 10

TRIGGERS

• Trigger: At task creation/modification
• Repeat every 2 hours for a duration of indefinitely
• Enabled

ACTIONS

• Start a program "path...\SysTimeUpdate.exe" min ('min' being an argument)

CONDITIONS

• none - no conditions

SETTINGS

• Allow task to be run on demand
• Run task as soon as possible after a schedules start is missed
• Stop the task if it runs longer than 1 hour
• If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop
• If the task is already running, then the following rule applies - Stop the existing instance

Someone suggested that my Administrator account may not have full privileges, and it may be a permissions issue but, if so, why can I launch it manually and why can another app launch it when that app is launched but Task Scheduler cannot? This very very
baffling, and any assistance would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
