  1. Password to run task scheduler


    I am at an absolute loss on this. HOW do you find out which password is necessary to do this?? I enter no password to access my desktop computer running Windows 10 Pro, I've tried running the task scheduler as an admin, the username it's asking for a password to appears to be a Windows generated account name. The only User Name listed under the User Accounts is called "Windows" and the group the user name falls under is Administrators; Users.

    I want to schedule a task run, how is this SO complicated? Typically a simple Google query will yield results, even after a few different searches, but nothing helpful at all this time. I am totally stuck here.

    Suggestions, anyone?

  3. Unable to run Task Scheduler

    Hello Varun,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

    • Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to this?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Can you also please confirm the current build of your Windows 10?

      (Type winver into the Cortana search box, then hit
      Enter
      .)

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you try starting the Task Scheduler through command line. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type this net start task scheduler and hit Enter.

    We're looking forward to your response.

  4. Password to run task scheduler

    Task Scheduler service will not start.

    Thank you for updating us. If Task Scheduler will not start, we suggest that you restart it. The service might be disabled that's why the task will not run. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot Task Scheduler.

    • Click Start menu.
    • Type Services in the Start Search box.
    • Right-Click Services, and select Run as Administrator.
    • If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click
      Continue.
    • Right-click the Task Scheduler Service and select Restart.
    And have you tried running the System File Checker scan as an Administrator. For more information check this
    article. You can also perform DISM after performing SFC.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
