    So that's the guessing game: Was the task created...yes or no!? If there was an output about the created task, you have to assume, that the task was created.

    I have very luck today.
    thanks god / myself
    for still be alive … :D

    focus in real problems, stop being complainer
    you enjoy other people work, and always complain
    I own you nothing, you don't pay me, you don't pay for my web hosting
    so wtf you complain so much ? ? ? ? ?

    I can personally confirm that if you set the variables to "null," or any invalid data, the task will not be created. If you run the tool with the data and time set accordingly, the newly created task will be in the root of the task schedule app, it won't be buried. I noticed as soon as I changed these to "null," the task was then removed from the system.

    Also, you should see the task run as the first time I saw it, it was a visible command prompt that started shortly after login.

    For me it wasn't visible like this.

    I have only discovered it when the task started.

    Hey, sorry for bothering you, but I have a small question - Yes, I didn't pay attention that I can set them null, but the task you are referring to should have the Author Mr X.Y.Z and _backup_ in its name right? Because I simply deleted the task and I hope it is enough

    Thanks in advance

    Hey @RaT0rg22 ,

    You are correct. Here are two screens, the first one is using the tool with a valid date and time for the auto, the other is using NULL. Simply setting the variables to anything other that valid data will actually remove the task for you. I did not have to remove anything;

    It's task I used in many script
    If you don't like the name x.y.z
    Can change it to Mr nice guy

    It first delete current task
    Than he created tamplate xml file
    I replace the values with needed value's
    And re-import it

    If the xml is not valid ( date / time error)
    It will not be created again

    This tool worked great. Installed office 2019 professional in about 15 minutes.
    -only glitch I had was the initial web installer link never made it to my "Downloads." Got stuck on the clip board....screen flashed pretty quickly and told me that's where it was sent to. Copied it from clipboard and pasted into my browser. Done.

    -I didn't see an auto renewal setting similar to -VL ALL. Does this program have one?

    Thanks for everything,
    Gus in Vegas

    in deed it have one.
    but you can still use KMS_VL_ALL if you like to …

    - make sure to download latest release
    - edit config file … check the new settings (Hour / Min)

    Why every time I run OfficeRTool, it wipes my entire Windows Defender exclusion list?

    It could also be a problem with windows defender not managing the exclusion list well.

    I did check it, and there is no way it's because (R)tool.
    that the code I am using.
    Code:
       :: Start
        2>nul powershell -nop -c "Set-MpPreference -ExclusionPath '%~dp0','%~dp0OfficeFixes\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\BIN\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\OSPP\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\win_x32\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\win_x64\'"
    
       :: End
        2>nul powershell -nop -c "Remove-MpPreference -ExclusionPath '%~dp0','%~dp0OfficeFixes\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\BIN\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\OSPP\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\win_x32\','%~dp0OfficeFixes\win_x64\'"
    
    but in second thought, maybe i need to use 'Add-MpPreference' instead ? hmm ..

    I think its my fault, I need to use 'Add-MpPreference' instead 'Set-MpPreference'

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to completely uninstall Office 2021 VL from OfficeRtool? I did a regular uninstall (control panel) and tried to install Office 365 from office.com but the setup keeps detecting it's the wrong channel that I'm on and I think there are remnants of the 2021 installation I did before.

    I tried using Microsoft's Office scrubber to remove it but it still detects the 2021 installation.

    Use: Office Scrubber and see if it does the removing job properly.

    I am sure that both the scrub option in OfficeRTool or The Office Scrubber that @Enthousiast advised will help. You would have to ask @Dark Dinosaur but I believe that both options are practically the same in nature.
