Remarks

When creating your own XML for a task, a registration trigger is specified using the RegistrationTrigger element of the Task Scheduler schema.

If a task with a delayed registration trigger is registered, and the computer that the task is registered on is shutdown or restarted during the delay, before the task runs, then the task will not run and the delay will be lost.
