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\
