On Windows, we use the built-in Task Scheduler for this.

If you want to just update Slicer and create a package then putting the two commands that build `ALL_BUILD` and `PACKAGE` targets should be sufficient.

If you want more complete solution - run all tests, report results to dashboard, build all extensions, etc. - then you can adapt the [scripts that official Slicer build machines use](https://github.com/Slicer/DashboardScripts).

You can build the `ALL_BUILD` target with a command like this:

`"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release`

You can put all the build commands in a .bat file and run it using the Task Scheduler. Using the Task Scheduler is straightforward and is also widely documented on the web.
