    Hi,

    To assist you better, kindly provide us more details by answering the following questions:

    • Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
    • Type services.msc and hit Enter.

    Task scheduler not working anymore.

    Hello,

    System file corruption is one of the possible reasons why you are encountering issues with the Task Scheduler in Windows 10. To better assist you, we need the answers to the following questions:

    • Have you tried setting a schedule to
      defragment
      your hard drive?
    • Did you make any changes on your computer prior to this issue?

    In the meantime, we suggest creating a new user account and see if you will still encounter the same issue with the Task Scheduler. To do this, simply follow the steps below;


    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add
      someone else to this PC
      .

    • Type a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    We are looking forward to your response.
