This was harder to do than it should have been.

Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and get an Ubuntu container running:

PS > wsl --install
PS > wsl --install -d Ubuntu

Run Ubuntu from the Start menu. In the console, become root and install dependencies:


	$Trigger = New-JobTrigger -Once -At (get-date).AddSeconds(5)
	$JobOptions = New-ScheduledJobOption -StartIfOnBattery -RunElevated
	$Job = Register-ScheduledJob -Name "TaskName" -Trigger $Trigger -ScheduledJobOption $JobOptions `
	-ScriptBlock {
	Sleep 5
	}

	# From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-error-and-success-constants?redirectedfrom=MSDN
	Set-Variable -Name "SCHED_S_TASK_HAS_NOT_RUN" -Value 0x00041303 -Option Constant

	# This will register a new job that removes itself from Get-ScheduledJob when finished

	$Trigger = New-JobTrigger -Once -At (Get-Date).AddSeconds(3)
	$TaskName = "SelfDestructingJob"
	Register-ScheduledJob -Trigger $Trigger -Name $TaskName `
	-ScriptBlock ([scriptblock]::Create(@"
	("Started job at " + (Get-Date) + ", waiting...") \| Out-File -FilePath 'C:\ProofThatItWorks.txt'
	Start-Sleep 3
	("Finished at " + (Get-Date)) \| Out-File -Append -FilePath 'C:\ProofThatItWorks.txt'
	Unregister-ScheduledJob -Name '$TaskName' -Force
