Task Scheduler greyed out
Having noticed that some of the automated tasks I had scheduled were not running, I opened Services.msc and looked at Task Scheduler which hadn't started. Selecting properties showed all options greyed out. I can't select Automatic, Manual, Disabled or anything. The contents of all other tabs are also greyed out.  All dependencies are running. I've Googled this problem and only been able to find one similar problem. The answer given is to download and merge a file into the registry (it didn't work) or use a command line prompt (sc configTaskSchedulerstart= auto) (it didn't work either) :cry: Anyone got any bright ideas on this? Any, and all help will be gratefully acknowledged. -- beauparc

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it is set as *-Disabled -*with all options greyed out. -- beauparc Thanks again. I tried the .reg file suggested but with limited success. It didn't cure the problem but, opening it in Notepad showed me where the registry entry was. I then opened Regedit and manually changed the startup value to give me Automatic start. So, while task scheduler is now running on bootup, all the other options and tabs are still greyed out. I have to admit to being baffled by this. -- beauparc
