    Unable to run Task Scheduler

    Hello Varun,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, I'd like to get the following information:

    • Is this your first time to encounter this issue? If so, did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to this?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Can you also please confirm the current build of your Windows 10?

      (Type winver into the Cortana search box, then hit
      Enter      .)

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you try starting the Task Scheduler through command line. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type this net start task scheduler and hit Enter.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Task Scheduler not running or starting programs in Windows 10

    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?
