    Scheduled task keeps getting deleted some time after I recreate it


    I have a scheduled task on all my systems that runs a PowerShell script at startup, where the script then runs permanently.


    This had been working for a long time, until recently something rather weird started to happen: the task gets deleted...


    I recreate the task by importing an XML definition file, start it manually, and it works.


    But after some time (next reboot? next update--there have been a number of RS4 updates recently--?), the task gets deleted again.


    Any clue?

    :)

    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.

    Scheduled task keeps getting deleted some time after I recreate it

    Task Scheduler

    I accidently deleted Windows Defender Scheduled Scan and now the scan does not occur.
    How can I recreate the deleted task.

    How do I recreate the task as it was when I first installed Windows 10 ?
