Trying to set up a Sceduled Task to run Dropbox.exe

sebrame

I'm trying to set up a Scheduled Task that will run 'Dropbox.exe' at a specified time. Ive set it up easily on my Windows 7 machine, but on my Windows 10 PC, I keep getting the error -

"One or more of the specified arguments are not valid."

In the History, the error reads as -

Task Scheduler failed to start "\My Tasks\Run Dropbox" task for user "EDITOR\EDITOR". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943140.

 

I use the Task Scheduler wizard to build the task, so I figured that Microsoft builds it the way it should be built. The only argument I add is '/home', but I've also tried it with no arguments.

 

I'm logged in as an Administrator, and I also have dropbox.exe set to 'Run as Administrator'.

I just created a task on Windows 10 without an issue, using the same settings you have above. I entered /home as the argument, it was accepted and the task ran fine.

After a quick Google search I came across this:

2147943140 = 0x800702E4 = ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED = The requested operation requires elevation

Is your Editor account, as seen in your screenshots, an administrator? The account I used is, so that might be the difference.
