I am attempting to use task scheduler to lock my computer during the night. I got it to lock but want to also prevent myself from being able to log back in before a certain time. So far the best I have found is for it to repeat the lock once a min for the duration. This is ok but I can still work around it if I am feeling stubborn. Is there a more permanent solution?
PS: I would use the family controls, but mine is the only account, so it doesn't work.

There's no way to do this because any restriction you can set you can always unset. You'd have to have someone else do it and also have them remove your admin rights so you don't have access to undo it

you're looking for parental control software, essentially, but yeah, if you're setting it yourself, you can always remove it yourself so it won't be very effective

maybe have a friend or family member set up the rules and then take away your admin rights so you can't circumvent the rules

yeah so then I guess it has to be locked in a secure cabinet like an ATM so that you can't insert a USB or run the reset feature

Your on the right step of using taskschd.msc (which is advanced actually), but also you should control GPO on the user account, or use the family control options in windows which is easy to use and easy to setup!
since your on windows home, gpedit.msc or lusrmgr.msc will not work, which makes the advanced step a little harder
