Well here is an/the issue -

Code Select Expand

C:\Users\John>AT
The AT command has been deprecated. Please use schtasks.exe instead.

The request is not supported.

C:\Users\John>
However AT /? still lists the old commands -

Saw that too - here is what I found:

AI Overview
Error Code 50, "Conflicting I/O operation is running," usually means another process is using a disk/device, often seen with external drives on Mac (file system issues, sleep settings) or Windows (driver/network stack problems), or within apps like Steam (download conflicts)
. Solutions involve restarting the PC, running as administrator, checking/updating drivers, disabling antivirus, resetting network settings, or addressing specific file system/permission issues on Mac

For Windows Users (Event ID 50)

    Hardware Failure: Check system logs for underlying hardware issues (especially disk/network).
    Network/Driver Issues: Roll back network drivers or run network reset commands.
    Filter Drivers: Other software (antivirus, backup tools) can interfere; perform a clean boot (msconfig) to find the culprit.
----
Seems more likely that Windows has changed something from the 'good ole days' that now creates the error -

I did try many 'compatibility' modes in Win 11 24H2 to no avail.  Also tried as Admin - no improvement
Did not try disabling Antivirus yet though....

Not too sad though; can't let language be a a showstopper for a 'classic'

Here is the program translated to English for the C part and the .rc part.
Original Finnish version is still there, just 'excluded'.  To get that version
just 'exclude' the _EN versions and include the original as Timo adjusted for
Pelles C V13, then build again.

TWinAT from 2005 and now compiled with Pelles c v13.
Sadly texts in Finnish language, as was created for company's IT persons.
Twenty years ago created and used until 2021 factory closed.

NetScheduleJobEnum function (lmat.h)

[NetScheduleJobEnum is no longer available for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use the Task Scheduler 2.0 Interfaces.

Hi Timo,

Your test is not meaningless. Curiosity is what keeps us alive.

Reading Timo's and John's messages, here is the new version :

Code Select Expand

include    EnumWnd.inc

.data

ZeroVal    dd 0
ZeroPtr    dd OFFSET ZeroVal
msg        db '%s',13,10,0

.data?

buffer      db 256 dup(?)
buffer2    db 256 dup(?)

.code

start:

    invoke  EnumWindows,ADDR EnumWndProc,0
    invoke  ExitProcess,0

EnumWndProc PROC hwnd:DWORD,lParam:DWORD

    invoke  GetWindowText,hwnd,ADDR buffer,255
    mov    edx,OFFSET msg
    test    eax,eax
    cmovz  edx,DWORD PTR [ZeroPtr]
    invoke  printf,edx,ADDR buffer
    mov    eax,1
    ret

EnumWndProc ENDP

END start
