Windows 10: specified account name is not valid task scheduler --- after Windows update

For some reason when I make changes to a job in task scheduler, the logging in I do afterwards to save the changes within task scheduler, is resulting in this message:

specified account name is not valid task scheduler



I only have a user name for this PC and within task scheduler, I see that username under

"when running the task use the following account: {my username}



I tried looking up the solution to this ,but most solutions involved a server, which I am not using.

Windows Task Scheduler Error (one or more of the specified arguments are not valid)

I'm having a rough go trying to use Task Scheduler to schedule tasks.

I had the system working for a 6am program for about two weeks. I decided that I wanted to shift users to a new account about two weeks ago, and my task hasn't run properly since. I get this in general from the task. I have both the latest draft of the task
and the original one that worked before switching accounts:

When editing the task, every time I get a "one or more of the specified arguments are not valid" error message. I think it has to do with the account I'm running it from. I've looked at other solutions to this issue using the SYSTEM account and switching
to 'run whether the user is logged on or not' but that's greyed out for me:

I have not tried running this through a different account since I removed the old one. I looked through a bunch of suggestions from

here but no luck.

Any new suggestions? Is there a step I may have missed in creating the new account (Atlas) to give it proper permissions?

Here are the screenshots of my setup:

 

The specified acount name isnot valid to use schedule task

When I try to finish my new task I got an error message saying that the specified user is not valid, the password is incorrect.

1. Is the computer connected to a domain?

NO

2. Have you tried using the task scheduler in a different account?

I ONLY HAVE THIS ACCOUNT ON THIS COMPUTER

3. Have you tried scheduling the task through an administrator account?

SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY ACCOUNT ON THE COMPUTER IT IS SURE THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT.
