  1. Task Scheduler no permissions


    As of June this year, I had full control over everything in my task scheduler. I could delete/modify anything, and I had a few tasks that I had created.

    Now, for whatever reason, I cannot edit, delete, disable, or enable any tasks. I can only make new ones. Those new ones I can do whatever I want to, but anything made before whatever changed cannot be changed any longer.

    I'm just getting errors that I don't have permissions. I am the only user on my PC and I have an admin account. No UAC. Haven't run into any other "no permission" issues for the few years I've had this PC.

    Any ideas? Is there a way to simply force Windows to delete/disable some tasks? I tried doing a simple method from an elevated Command Prompt but it told me that the access was denied.

  2. 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\
