What is the Windows version of cron?

[Bartels32]

A Google search turned up software that performs the same functions as cron, but nothing built into Windows.

I'm running Windows XP Professional, but advice for any version of Windows would be potentially helpful to someone.

Is there also a way to invoke this feature (which based on answers is called the Task Scheduler) programatically or via the command line?

Task Scheduler API: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page

Windows XP has Task Scheduler 1.0, only interfaces for use by C++ clients.
