Hello Everyone,

I have written some python scripts to automate some of the daily geoprocessing tasks.  I currently have these tasks set to automatically run in Windows task scheduler.  I recently learned that I can schedule these tasks in the ArcGIS Pro desktop environment.  I have a few test schedules created to run tonight.  My main question is, will the schedules run if the desktop isn't open?  

Thanks in advance for any help!

@Laura  - sorry this is late... you can schedule the tools/scripts/models to run in Pro using the scheduler inside of Pro.  It creates a Windows task schedule through the Pro environment and runs even if Pro isn't open. Here is a white paper I found online if you would like to read it:
