Powershell 7 Kscript doesn't want to run
Hi there everyone. First time long time...
I've installed Powershell v7.1.3 to a windows server 2012 R2 box and can successfully run the command: Clear-RecycleBin -Force from the local desktop.
I've attempted to implement a daily script to automate this task. Efforts so far have been unsuccessful. Im stumped as to why.
NOTE! pwsh.exe is the Powershell7 executable that can be run from anywhere as its added to the PATH system variable.
I've tried two methods, both run as 'local system':
Using a dependency file (the file is simply a one liner Clear-RecycleBin -Force)

Instead of using "Launch a program..." try "Run a batch file..." with your one line:
pwsh.exe -executionpolicy bypass -WindowStyle hidden -noprofile -Command "Clear-RecycleBin -Force"
