Can I use the command AT in Windows 8.1?


No you cannot. AT command has been deprecated(used no more).
Instead you should use schtasks.exe.

How do you use it?

Open up a command prompt window (AKA DOS window) preferably with administrator privileges.

Just type as shown and you should get the help menu.

C:\Windows\system32>schtasks /?
