Setting Up Monthly Extended Scans

[andrewcarsten96]

Hello,

I recently purchased HDSentinel and I'm really enjoying using it. I've been trying to configure a schedule for extended tests to run once a month on my drives, but I can't seem to find an option for it. While there is a choice for selecting the day of the week and time, I couldn't find any options for setting up frequencies like "monthly" or "yearly", nor a calendar function to select specific dates.

Is it not possible to schedule extended tests monthly? And if not, is there any chance this feature will be added in the future? The scheduler was a major factor in my decision to choose HDSentinel, as it would save me from having to manually initiate a scan every month.

Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
-Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your message and selecting Hard Disk Sentinel.

While in the software it is possible to schedule projects for any days of the week, it is possible to launch the task by any different schedule, using Windows Scheduler.
