I use 3 batch files to create partition images for 3 separate partitions, then use a 4th batch file to call the other 3 via Task Scheduler in Windows 10. Lately, one or more of the batch files has been skipped. Here are the batch files, created by IFW v3.28 and modified by me. They've worked great for years across various iterations of IFW.

"U:\Program Files\TeraByte Drive Image\imagew64.exe" /wait /b /d:w3@0x3 /priority:4 /f:"K:\DH87RL10A\$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$\Win10ProA\$~MM$-$~DD$-$~YYYY$-Win10ProA" /vb

"U:\Program Files\TeraByte Drive Image\imagew64.exe" /wait /b /d:w4@0x2 /priority:4 /f:"K:\DH87RL10A\$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$\Prog10A\$~MM$-$~DD$-$~YYYY$-Prog10A" /vb

"U:\Program Files\TeraByte Drive Image\imagew64.exe" /wait /b /d:w0@0x2 /priority:4 /f:"K:\DH87RL10A\$~YYYY$-$~MM$-$~DD$\Users10A\$~MM$-$~DD$-$~YYYY$-Users10A" /vb

And the one to call them all;

Call BackupWin10ProA.BAT
Call BackupProg10A.BAT
Call BackupUsers10A.BAT

Today I ran the fourth batch file via Task Scheduler, but only two of the files completed. When I opened an Elevated Command Prompt to run the batch file that had not been run, it opened IFW GUI (as expected) and I got a popup to the effect, "Delete Phylock.swp" with a Yes and No button. I clicked Yes, and the batch file ran normally.
I'm thinking that popup asking for user intervention is the failure cause for one of the batch files not running to completion, but I'm not sure what is causing the popup.

means the program was abnormally terminated.

you can look if the system restarted last night via the event log.

Read my post again. "Today I ran the fourth batch file via Task Scheduler, but only two of the files completed."

Sitting at the computer, I opened Task Scheduler using "Run as administrator", selected the scheduled task, and clicked "Run" in the side bar. I was sitting here the entire time, no power failure, no unusual circumstances, Task Scheduler reported that the task completed successfully, but one of the batch files did not run.

I have hundreds of image files (old ones deleted, of course) that have been run successfully using this same regimen, only letting Task Scheduler do it in the wee hours of the night. In the last few days, in checking my target drive, I've noticed that all three batch files are not completing.

That's the issue.
