Additional Information
Reproducible testing on two different machines by two different people did not replicate the issue on ArcGIS Pro 2.8. The issue is not reproducible on the current 2.9_30995 development build, as three tests on three different machines showed. We recommend the user, if possible, run the workflow on a different machine, or have a colleague run the workflow on their machine.Workaround
This issue is related to Windows Task Scheduler. To resolve the issue, follow the steps below:
- Open Windows Task Scheduler.
- Open the properties of the scheduled task.
- Open the 'Actions' tab.
- Double-click the 'Start a program' action.
- In the Program/script text box, type pythonw.exe.
- In the 'Start in (optional)' text box, type the path for the Python environment. The default is C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3.
- Click OK. The task runs as expected.
