    Task Scheduler issue


    Been having this for some time now. I am on .14267 and for the last couple of builds I have been getting 'Task Scheduler is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it'.

    Normally I can solve most problems but this has really baffled me and none of the suggested work-arounds on google seem to work.

    Is the only solution to 'reset this pc'? or is there another work around.

    Apart from this issue the PC is running brilliantly so I am reluctant to remove all the apps etc.

    :)

  2. Issue with Task Scheduler

    The task name sounds like a malware. Try running a full scan using Malwarebytes, and Junkware Removal Tool (www.malwarebytes.org). These tools will remove malicious
    tasks added by malware.

    And, if that doesn't remove the task, you can remove it manually using the steps listed in this article.

    Issue with Task Scheduler

    Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Been out of town. So I got on and the same thing reoccurred.

    I did as you said and here is a screenshot of the error.

    So I then went into the running tasks, and I found the task that is constantly popping up, but I don't know how to stop it from popping up anymore

    Task Scheduler issue

    Hi ukbadge,

    I just did a quick check and found a possible fix in THIS article. It does involve the Registry, which would require some precautions, such as creating a System Restore point prior to making any changes.

    Another option might be to try a Repair Install, which should leave most of your programs and files in tact.
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

    Thanks for the suggestion. I followed this suggestion, which is in effect the same as you suggested,


    a. Press Windows + R keys, type regedit in run window and press Enter.


    b. In registry editor, delete all entries under the following key:


    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache


    c. Close registry editor.

    I did a,b, and c and Task Scheduler is non-functional now. Not one single task is shown. Also tried repair install, but still have problem with 'Task Scheduler is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it'.
