    Tasks still show in Task Scheduler despite being deleted


    I deleted some tasks in windows\system32\tasks, but they still show up in the scheduler.

    What gives?

    edit: It's not all of them actually, which is even more puzzling. I saw Remote assitance one and that stupid Xbox service.

    :)

    Task Scheduler issue


    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'.
