I'm working on using Task Scheduler to run this program every morning. The python program works fine when I run it manually, but throws a FileNotFoundError when done with Task Scheduler. Here is a snippet of the code:

original = "C:/Users/work/thing/thing.xlsx"
target = "C:/Users/{}/place of work/work Team - 
Documents/General/thing".format(user)

if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(target, "thing.xlsx")):
    os.remove(os.path.join(target, "thing.xlsx"))

shutil.move(original, target)

print("Program executed without errors.")

Fixed by converting the python script into an executable file (via pyinstaller) and then making the exe program the action from Task Scheduler. Some ticked properties include -"grant highest permissions" I also removed the need for shutil.move() by just creating and writing to a file in the cloud location.
