Based on your comment in reply, you what to:

1. Update a registry value every 5 min. in your Winform program and ONLY when your program is running.

Then look at System.Windows.Forms.Timer[^] or System.Timers.Timer[^]

Use System.Timers.Timer if do not want to block UI interface.
See the example under these two links.

-----------
Use Windows Task Scheduler.

Schedule your program to run every 5. min.

Windows service scheduled to run at specific interval[^]

Under "Command Prompt" type: SCHTASKS
And follow instructions.

My application is use to generate License. I want to update time in registry for check the user is change the date or time. I store the date & time in registry when pc starts.& after that the application is close. The Task Scheduler helpful to check the customer change the date & time or not & its helps to update timing in registry. How its work?

I Add the trigger in my application.But i want to update trigger after 5 minutes interval & this updated time store in my registry automatically because my application is run once when my Computer starts.

I till do not follow. You want to:

- Update a registry value very 5 min with a date time ?
- And update only happen when your program runs ?

Yes, you can add the program in "Quick Launch" and yes you can cancel so the user can not exit the program.

If this solution solve your problem then press "Accept Answer". And if you have other questions, then start a new one. You have to be more specific what problem you have.

You may add scheduled task via c# code but I dont think thats the solution. Untrusted user might change system time yes but he can delete added task fom scheduler as well :) But of course OP should have specified his purpose .
