Task Scheduler: UpdateOrchestrator Schedule Retry Scan Cannot be disabled

Hi ErolD.IT,

Your computer may have been set to run tasks such as software updates, security scan, and system diagnostics when not in use. Let's look into your computer's
System and Maintenance page and see if the mentioned option is enabled. Follow these steps:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Navigate to System and Security > Security and Maintenance.
3. Expand the Maintenance category.
4. Under Automatic Maintenance, click Change maintenance settings.
5. Uncheck the Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time option.
6. Click OK.

You may also disable the wake timers under Power options. Here's how:

1. Open Control Panel, then click Power Options.
2. At the right pane of your preferred plan, click Change plan settings.
3. Click Change advanced power settings.
4. Locate and expand the Sleep option on the list.
5. Expand Allow wake timers, then set the Setting to
   Disable.
6. Click Apply, then OK.

Please let me know how it goes so I can further assist you if needed.

Regards.

 

How can I modify the “schedule scan” to be disabled? (don't have permission to disable)

After running powercfg /requests, it seems that \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Windows\System32\MoUsoCoreWorker.exe is responsible for my computer not being able to sleep/stay asleep.

I've located the process to "schedule scan" within the task scheduler, but am unable to disable it as I get an error "the user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task"

 

defender scans

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This issue might occur if you have set any task scheduler for Windows Defender.

I suggest you to delete the task for Windows defender and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Search and open Schedule tasks.
  
• 
  In the left-hand menu, open the Task Scheduler Library, then select
  Microsoft >Windows >Windows Defender.
  
• 
  Double-click Windows Defender Scheduled Scan.
  
• 
  Select the Triggers panel, then select Delete.
  

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.
