windows scheduler to run a batch script (.bat) every x-minutes?

Question

I'm trying to get windows scheduler to run a particular .bat script every 30 minutes or so, but the options only allow for once a day execution.

Is there a way I can get it to run a .bat script every 30 minutes?

This does not appear to be a programming question at all. VTC to superuser — Matt, Mar 31 '17 at 13:21
@Matt It doesn't have to be a programming question. Check https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic It falls in the category of "software tools commonly used by programmers" imo. — sotn, Mar 31 '17 at 13:27

You can use the following to create a new scheduler

SCHTASKS /Create /SC MINUTE /MO 30 /TN MyTaskName /TR "c:/myBat.bat"

If you need additional settings, use

SCHTASKS /Create /?
