Windows 10: Task Scheduler Asking for a Password

I'm just putting this here as a new question because I couldn't find a way to respond to the previous questions involving this same issue task scheduler asking for a password; for me, they all seemed to be locked from additional responses. To clarify, this isn't a question, this is the solution that I found for myself.I don't know if the previous responses helped anyone else out, but what I did to solve the issue was to navigate to within "Create Task" that is the General Tab, click on "Change User or Group...", in the new popup window click on "Advanced", in the new popup window click on

Task Scheduler Password

In the past with Task scheduler I never had to do that and it worked fine but I did as you suggested and had the same result.

 

Task Scheduler asking for password ?

this is completely baffling.

Why should i be asked to provide a user name and password when I am already logged in as the administrator?

I tried to change certain properties of teh Macrium schedule in Task scheduler but it kept asking for login details. The properties said for it to run whether or not the user was logged in or not - screen shots below









Every time i try and change something in these screens I am asked for a username/password but apart from the fact that I think I should not be asked for these details. I cannot find the right combination that grants me access. I have tried my User account
email address and password and/or PIN but these dont work.

I have come across many articles on the internet about changing properties of tasks in Task scheduler but none of them have mentioned anything about being pressed for login details.

Very curious.

I even created a dummy task in task scheduler using my user name + password but when I tried to edit the properties I was asked for login details. Why?

Is this another peculiarity of windows 10??

 

Task Scheduler asking for password ?

I wanted to change a property of a task in Task Scheduler but I was asked to input user name and password.





I only have one machine and I am the administrator so I don't understand. However i did try and use the email address and password for my User account but this failed . Also tried the PIN and this also failed

I suspect the reason for this is that the scheduler is set to SYSTEM as user account - dont know how to change this (alyhi this may not be possible???)

Help anyone?
