The video, presented by Brian from BrightTech Computers, provides a detailed guide on using Windows Task Scheduler to automate tasks, specifically focusing on clearing the memory cache to optimize system performance. Brian demonstrates how to use Sysinternals' RamMap tool to manually clear cached memory and then how to automate this process using Task Scheduler on Windows 10 and 11. He explains the steps required to ensure a program runs with administrative rights, setting up a task named "Empty Cache" with specific triggers for repeated intervals, like every 15 minutes. The video emphasizes the simplicity and effectiveness of automating tasks via Task Scheduler, offering further assistance for specific tutorials upon request. The presentation concludes with Brian acknowledging and thanking his YouTube members for their support.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to use Windows Task Scheduler to run programs or scripts automatically. The focus is on demonstrating the process of setting this up, allowing users to run various types of scripts or programs—including PowerShell scripts, batch files, or other applications—at specified times and frequencies. Specifically, the video details how to clear the memory cache using a tool from Sysinternals called RamMap, which is beneficial for users with low-end systems or those who want to optimize their systems for gaming. The presenter shows how to manually clear the cached memory and then proceeds to automate this process using Task Scheduler, creating a new folder in the C drive to store the necessary files. The method works with Windows 10, Windows 11, and other versions of Windows as well.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to configure a small program to run as an administrator with full permissions. They show how to set the program’s properties to ensure it runs with administrative rights. Next, they guide you to open Task Scheduler and create a new task named “Empty Cache.” They specify the necessary configurations such as changing users or groups, setting triggers for task repetition, and configuring the task to run repeatedly at set intervals, like every 15 minutes or more frequently if desired. These steps ensure the task runs with the required permissions and on a defined schedule.

In this part of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to use the Task Scheduler to automate running a program. They walk through the steps of setting up a new action to start a program, selecting the desired program (in this case, a clear cache script), and confirming the default settings without making changes. Once the task is set, it is configured to run every 15 minutes. The speaker emphasizes the ease of automating scripts and programs using Task Scheduler, showing that the program can run manually or on a set schedule. They also mention that more specific tutorials, such as using a batch file with Task Scheduler, can be provided upon request.
