    Task Scheduler doesn't run program


    I'm running a task schedule to run a program at a certain time. It worked great in windows 7 but since I upgraded to 10 nothing happens when the task is run. I've run SFC and Dism see below and no problems found.
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow


    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.


    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.


    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.


    C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth


    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10586.0


    Image Version: 10.0.10586.0


    No component store corruption detected.
    The operation completed successfully.

    Scheduled task is not showing up in Task Scheduler and not running as scheduled - Windows 10

    I'm running Windows 10 v. 1607 (OS Build 14393.351) on a desktop computer

    I created a task in Task Scheduler, and it allowed me to create the task, which was to run a program. . I set it to run 'At startup' delayed 1 minute. I set it to 'Run with highest privileges' Configured for Windows 10. I set it to allow running on demand.
    When I rebooted my computer the program didn't start.

    When I went back to Task Scheduler and looked in the Task Scheduler Library the entry wasn't there. I refreshed the list and it still didn't show. I moved back up to the main Task Scheduler directory and the summary of current tasks (79 items). The task
    didn't show up there either. I refreshed both lists and it still didn't show.

    I thought maybe it hadn't been created so I tried to create it again. When I got to the end of creating it I got the error message:

    "An error has occurred for task Launch 'Program Name'. Error message: A task or folder with this name already exists"

    So it says it exists, but as mentioned it doesn't run at startup, and doesn't show on the list. I can still run the program on demand no problem.

    I tried creating it again, both as a full Task and a Basic Task. Each time I get the error message:

    "An error has occurred for task Launch 'Program Name'. Error message: A task or folder with this name already exists"

    How can I find where the program task is in Task Scheduler and why isn't it showing up?

    task scheduler

    Okay, so everyone that replied to my question says it is a problem with the way I schedule a task. When I look at the task scheduler task status (the box below the box that says overview of task scheduler), I need to ask how to schedule these 3 items. .NETFramework
    NGEN v4.0.30319 Analyze System

    e544d6d7-55b7-4c00-9503-688894d45eaf

    These and others are Windows system-critical task. That box shows that they are not started.

    Task Status

    status of task started in the following time period last hour

    last 24 hours

    last 7 days

    last 30 days

    Summary: # total # running, # succeeded, # stopped, #failed

    I know how to schedule a task but it the TASK SCHEDULER is not operating correctly they will not run, I see McAfee in the all running task window but started and run duration both say unavailable.

    The problem is not with the items but the program that holds and monitors the items activities.

    I'm running out of ways to say it doesn't matter that the car has gas the crankshaft sensor is broken
