    Task Scheduler Error


    When I access Task Scheduler, an error appears that says SqmUpload_S-1-5-21......... no longer exists. To see the current tasks, click Refresh. However, the same message appears when I click Refresh. I can close the message and it appears the Task Scheduler is OK. A person on the Microsoft boards gave me several steps to follow beginning with booting into Safe Mode. However, I received a message when I accessed Task Scheduler that it doesn't function in Safe Mode.
    I did not feel safe following their additional suggestions at that point as I am not that adept at such endeavors. Has anyone else encountered this error and/or found a simple solution? I feel it is caused by some remnant leftover from Windows 7 during the upgrade but this is pure conjecture on my behalf.

    Close program each day with Task Scheduler?

    I cannot get it to work that Windows Task Scheduler closes a program each day.

    I have added this path
    C:\Dir Lw C\Programme\Rainlendar - Dirks Kalender (Daten etc.)\RainlendarPro schließen.lnk
    to a new task and the ink file is containing this
    "C:\Dir Lw C\Programme\RainlendarPro\App\Rainlendar64\Rainlendar2.exe" -e "Hotkey_Quit_Application()"
