Windows 10: Project: Which Scheduled Tasks can be Disabled WITHOUT Drastic Impact.

The idea of this Project is to sqeeze a little bit more performance from the OS. I have Extracted the Scheduled Tasks and Status information for MY OS seperated into the following categories . . . Code: Disabled = 37 Ready = 140 Running = 4 Queued = 1 Total = 182 ALL of the ouput is sorted by TaskName for easier reference. Disabled: Code: PS C:\Windows\System32> (Get-ScheduledTask | ? {$_.State -like 'Disabled'} | Measure-Object).Count 37 PS C:\Windows\System32> Get-ScheduledTask | ? {$_.State -like 'Disabled'} |

Task Scheduler History keeps getting disabled for my tasks

Task Scheduler History keeps getting disabled for my tasks

i also found the listed this issue listed.

i try to update my command and could not.

i found a recommendation to enable . here -->

"Step 1: Open an elevated Task Scheduler (ie. right-click on the Task Scheduler icon and choose Run as administrator)

Step 2: In the Actions pane (right
pane, not the actions tab),
click Enable All Tasks History"

How can I enable the Windows Server Task Scheduler History recording?

not sure if it is persistent.

 

No permission to disable a task in Task Scheduler

You keep talking about a "folder". Task scheduler items are files, not
folders, even though they have no name extension (i.e. no full stop or anything else to the right of the name).

I suspect the task is protected through its entry in the registry. You need to open the registry editor (regedit.exe), then do this:

• Navigate to this key:
  
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks\
• Find "UpdateOrchestrator", using Ctrl+F. It will be against a key such as
  
  {AB62362D-3EF5-4BD4-92E1-D96143FD8738}
• Change the owner of the key to "Administrators"
• Grant full access to "Administrators".
  

You then need to take the same four steps with this key:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\

 

Which Services can be Disabled WITHOUT a Drastic Impact.

Is this test/prep work for a clean install of 21H1 (now finally released) or earlier?

I've just done my own clean install of 21H1 and was surprised that the number of services has actually reduced:

1511: 196
1607: 212
1703: 223
1709: 234
1803: 239
1809: 257
1903: 246
1909: 251
2004: 248
20H2: 261
21H1: 253

Before I did any tinkering or connected my test laptop to the internet I took a screenshot of Task Manager:





I'm also going to be disabling services, amending scheduled tasks and removing (autorunning) built-in apps (like Photos, OneDrive and Office) to reduce CPU and disk usage still further. *Smile
