Windows 10: Various Event Viewer Errors Including Task Scheduler Stopping

Using Windows 10, version 20H2

This continues from this thread: Task Scheduler Stops Running where the Task Scheduler was stopping regularly.

Indeed, the Task Scheduler is stopping again and there are other errors showing in Event Viewer.

The system auto restarts via a batch file command once a day and these errors often appear once rebooted:

Code:

Code:

Code:

This error also appears randomly every few days but never after a restart:

Code:

I've run chkdsk and sfc /scannow various times and they sometimes fix errors, sometimes they find none.

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth reports no issues.

I am using a Samsung EVO SSD which is only 5 months old.

Samsung Magician, HDDTune and SeaTools find no issues with the drive.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Event Viewer Error.

Hi Janeane,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry to report that restarting the Software Protection service did not resolve the problem.

Looking at:

Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application

The error still appears at least every 30 seconds.

Looking at:

Computer Management > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > SoftwareProtectionPlatform

The page contains no folders or content.

Kind Regards,

To do this right click start button and select event viewer and open it.

Expand Applications and Service logs

Expand Windows

Expand Task Scheduler

Under Operational see if you can find any warnings errors and reply to us to let us know what they are please.

 

Task Scheduler Errors - SPP & other scheduled tasks

Hi Beaupeep.

You may want to check and see if the latest windows update (KB3087916) has resolved your "Timezone" task scheduler bug. It does seem that it has for me.

However I am still seeing Software Protection Services errors in my event log.

Edit:

I have now resolved the Software Protection Services errors within the event viewer by following the procedure as listed as "Answer" on this page.

Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2114-01-10T10:42:29Z. Error Code: 0x80041318.

The corrupted task being: SvcRestartTask within SoftwareProtectionPlatform

After this procedure and a reboot the event viewer now shows; Successfully scheduled Software Protection service for re-start at 2115-07-19T05:58:20Z. Reason: RulesEngine. (Information level log)

Problem resolved.

Good luck.
