For Windows 7 and up, scheduled tasks are not run by cmd. There are multiple issues with the MMC however as on almost every PC in my business the ask scheduler API will not open and has somehow been corrupted.
So you cannot edit, delete or otherwise modify tasks that were developed before the API decided not to run anymore. This seems to fix the API issue and it works again, however the tasks are often not visible anymore to that user since the tasks developed are specific to the user and not the machine in Windows 7.
The other odd thing is that sometimes, although not with any frequency that can be analyzed, the tasks still run even though the API is corrupted and will not open.
The cause of this issue is apparently not known but there are many "fixes" described on various websites, but the user profile deletion and adding anew seems to work every time for at least a little while.
We went with the system scheduler software from Splinterware though since we had the same corruption issue multiple times even with the fix that does not seem to be permanent. They will have the extension. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow.

JoelFan JoelFan And for sure I will stay away from using task scheduler along the next iterations of windows server - wherever possible, I will use the SQL Server Agent to run scheduled jobs instead of Tasks. Thank you. I once faced this issue. Can please tell what is the user account for the schtask. Had very similar experience recently I also found that it helped me solve the original problem I was having that led me to this thread, so in case others are still struggling:.
I had made a task and, like many people here, had it "disappear". Perhaps everyone else has been far more insightful than I wouldn't take much , but I managed to find my "missing" task by clicking on the top level i. My task was then listed in the middle of the screen in the sorted list. As far as fixing tasks which disappear and don't run, I have no idea, but here's hoping this helps another idiot like me! For some reason my custom local tasks did not appear when I searched and ran through the start menu directly.

I created a new task basic task called "test" that just starts the calc program and it shows up fine in the task list. As others have found, if you change the name of your computer, scheduled tasks that were associated with a specific user account as the logon trigger, as the user credential for the task, and so on will no longer appear in the Scheduled Tasks list.
Scheduled Tasks displays the message "An error has occured for task xxxx. Error message: The specified account name is not valid. Unfortunately, since Scheduled Tasks will not display the broken task entry, you can't fix it directly.
The files have the same name as their Scheduled Tasks entries. But, you can't simply edit the file in place to fix the problem. Scheduled Tasks detects that the file has been modified externally and again won't use or display it.
I was able to fix the problem using the following steps:. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. How satisfied are you with this reply?.
