    Attack Surface Reduction

    Hello Other_side,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    This message usually indicates that the system has detected some threatened applications or processes.

    Do the planned tasks you mentioned here involve some unknown process or application? The Widnows Security Center blocked the process to protect the system security because it was judged as a potential threat.

    If you are 100% sure that the process associated with the scheduled task is safe, perhaps I can recommend that you try lowering the UAC limits. (Search UAC in the taskbar to find a list of sliders)

    If you think this is a false positive from the system, we recommend that you submit the corresponding application to the Widnows Security Center support team by manually submitting samples:

    Provide feedbackSubmit a file for malware analysis

    Also, I noticed that the error may be related to "attack surface reduction rules". I found the rule configuration tutorial for you, maybe you can manage the rule through:

    Enable attack surface reduction rules

    If you want to Learn more about this rule, I recommend you to visit Microsoft Learn, our advanced technology forum post. You can click on "Ask a question", there are experts who can provide more professional solutions in that place.
