To Conclude
The Task Scheduler is free and inbuilt in your system. But not many people are even aware of its existence. It actually takes a lot of time and effort to configure for the simple reason that it has multiple windows you need to go through.
Also, it is a deprecated feature. So it may or may not function because it is no longer supported by Microsoft.
Notezilla is simple and quick to configure. You can set reminders and move on with your work. No worries, no errors.
So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!
The best part of Notezilla is that it can sync notes between your mobile and PC or laptop! Therefore, you have reminders even on your phone.
Go download it from the Play store or app store today and sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.
