Windows 10: Task Scheduler is failing with 0x1. That's an permissions-related error, right? I need to...

I posted this question yesterday but people were confused because I mistakenly said it was an 0x0 error instead of an 0x1 error. I should never reddit when I should be sleeping. :/

Why would a script that executes as intended on the Windows 10 command line fail with 0x1 in Task Scheduler when both use the same user account?

In case you want to know more: I have a Python bot that uses PRAW and a SQLite database to post articles to a sub I created. When I execute it from the Windows 10 command line it works as intended. But when executed from within Windows Task Scheduler using the same user account it fails with an 0x1 error. Other bots written the exact same way and that run with the same user account work fine.

The paths to the program (python37.exe) and the script folder are set correctly. I have several other bots written the same way that work reliably.
​

The only thing I know for certain is that the script fails immediately otherwise the error log functionality within the script would detail what went wrong.

This may not be the ideal sub for my question, but since the issue is related to Task Scheduler it seemed like a good place to start.


What specific sorts of issues might be causing the 0x1 error?

Task Scheduler Error


When I access Task Scheduler, an error appears that says SqmUpload_S-1-5-21......... no longer exists. To see the current tasks, click Refresh. However, the same message appears when I click Refresh. I can close the message and it appears the Task Scheduler is OK. A person on the Microsoft boards gave me several steps to follow beginning with booting into Safe Mode. However, I received a message when I accessed Task Scheduler that it doesn't function in Safe Mode.
I did not feel safe following their additional suggestions at that point as I am not that adept at such endeavors. Has anyone else encountered this error and/or found a simple solution? I feel it is caused by some remnant leftover from Windows 7 during the upgrade but this is pure conjecture on my behalf.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

I suggest you to clear the task from Task Scheduler using the below steps and check if the issue still persists.

Steps:-

• Type Task Scheduler on Search bar.
• Click on Task Scheduler Library.
• Select the particular task and right click on it.
• Select End.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

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\
