How to open file with .JOB extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .JOB file? Do you want to convert a .JOB file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .JOB

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Task Object Format Microsoft System Files
.JOB

The JOB file extension is associated with the Windows Task Scheduler. This program is a Windows system service that allows users to schedule tasks to be performed at a later time, allowing them to do calculations, launch startup programs and send notifications. The automated task scheduling is convenient for users, allowing them to perform tasks automatically with efficiency and accuracy. The Task Scheduler stores task information in a JOB file as a way for users to easily access tasks.

File Specifications

The JOB file extension is used for the purpose of scheduling tasks created in the Windows Task Scheduler program. The file consists of plain text and contains information about the task being scheduled and the exact time it should be completed. It can be opened by Microsoft Notepad or any other text editor. Additionally JOB files can have parameters that contain additional information, such as comments and description of the task, name of the program to be launched and number of attempts left. Other similar file extensions include .BAT, .CMD, .VBS and .JS.

Programs for WINDOWS system
  • Microsoft Windows Microsoft Windows

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .JOB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .JOB extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .JOB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .JOB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .JOB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .JOB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .JOB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .JOB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .JOB file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .JOB file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .JOB file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
