Mass export Tasks from Windows Task Scheduler:

Windows Task Scheduler holds all the tasks which was created by an application to periodically check for updates or by you to send an email when somebody logs in. Now if you want to create same type of tasks in another folder, Task Scheduler gives you an option to export them one by one and not all of them together.

The below steps helps you to export all the tasks in bulk.

All the Tasks created in Windows are stored in the Task Folder of Windows System Directory, for example, C:\Windows\System32\Tasks.

·         Navigate to Tasks Folder.

·         Here you will see a couple of folders with some files inside it. They represent the same folder structure of the Task Scheduler and files have same name too.


·         Now copy the task files to the machine you want to export to. You can also use it to backup your tasks in case your computer needs a re \installation, so you don’t have to create again.
·         Now rename the files with extension as .XML, this is the same extension used when you export the tasks using the Task Scheduler Interface.
·         Once renamed, now use the Task Scheduler Import task feature to import them one by one as Windows will not recognize them if you drop them directly into the Tasks Folder of Windows.
