    Windows has the "windows scheduler" and doesn't have cron. You'll have to add the task there, in settings/administration instead. It is very easy.

    1. Create a cron.php file (the code you want to execute at a regular interval)

    2. Create a CRON.BAT file, copy and past the below code in the file
    D:\xampp\php\php.exe D:\xampp\htdocs\Application\cron.php

    The path I have written is according to my xampp and cron.php file, update the path of files according to your system directory

    3. To schedule a task
    Click on start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks

    Or you can go directly
    Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks

    Right click in the folder
    New > Schedule Task

    Give appropriate name to the Task.
    In the RUN text field… Type the complete path of the CRON.BAT file
    in my case it is
    D:\xampp\htdocs\Application\CRON.BAT

    Set the schedule of the job, you can use advanced button if required.

    I hope this all will help you. Please leave your comment if you face any issue in setup cron job in windows How to Setup a cron job on WAMP server ?
