Task scheduler running duplicates of my .bat despite setting not to

Question

Hey kind of a noob with this stuff.

But I set up a task scheduler to when idle for 5 minutes, run a .bat.

I also have it set to "Do not run multiple instances", yet whenever I come back after an hour, there are 2 or sometimes more instances of the bat running.

Any way to easily stop this?

You can limit the max amount of time a task should run, so if you set it to 4 minutes you probably are set.
