Bug: Changing computer name is not reflected in the existing task scheduler tasks

I changed the name of my computer some time ago.

Today, when I went to the Task Scheduler to add a new task, I got an error message:

"An error has occurred for task [task name ]. Error message: the specified account name is not valid. »

When I clicked OK to clear the error from the Task Scheduler open OK, but the task identified in the error is not in the list of tasks, which means that it was impossible to consider the task or correct the error.

When I checked the file containing the details of the task, I found that the task remained the old computer name, i.e. it was not being updated when I changed the name of the computer, and so the task was now where the error and was apparently being hidden.

This seems to be a bug.  Preferably, the account names must be updated if the computer name is changed, or at least the task is still visible in Task Scheduler.
