Magento2 :: Set Cron Job wamp in windows localhost

Magento 2, there are three cron jobs required . Because windows doesn’t have cron, we have to use a bat file and configure it to run as a scheduled task as shown below:

1.Find the location of php.exe – In you have Wamp installed, it’s in Drive:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.25 e.g c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.25
2.Go to a folder and create a file named yourcron.bat
3.Edit this file and paste 3 lines shown below:
in the following file i have added to cron job for re-indexing and cache

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.25\php.exe C:\wamp\www\magento2\bin\magento cron:run
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.25\php.exe C:\wamp\www\magento2\update\cron.php
