Disc, defragment and Task Scheduler

It is probably the computer to be terrible, but I'm trying to defrag because my comp is slow on Windows 8.  I'll right settings screen, Panel, system and security, administrative tools, and then defragment and optimize your disks.  The guest says 'optimization of the storage failed to start the service task scheduler is not running.  "Start the Task Scheduler service and try again.  So, I go to administrative tools and click on "schedule tasks".  He said: "the remote computer is not found.  I'm on my local computer.

When he pulls in fact, I have no tasks running. I go into 'action' and have only the following options (all the others are grey): connect to another computer, to configure service accounts, updating and help.  None of them helped me.

I see not all running tasks and I can always run a defragmentation.  Can someone help me please?  It's frustrating, it's like having children, and they all have both said the other did something; never actually, you get a response.  That's what I feel right now.

Hello

Two things to try...

Check services are being run/set for automatic
1) press the Windows key and R to open a dialog box to run

(2) type services.msc and press ENTER.

(3) do scroll down to 'Task Scheduler' and make sure that it is "started" and set to start automatically - right-click and choose Properties to change this, if it is not set.

Try to run defrag again and see what happens. If it does not, or you find, keep it stop

Run the System File Checker
(1) search for cmd in the start menu.

(2) right click the command prompt box and choose "Run as Administrator" at the bottom of the screen.

(3) in the type sfc/scannow in cmd window

This runs the System File Checker that checks all the problems with the Windows system files. It may take a long time to run.

  • Task Scheduler tasks do not work after a reboot

    In windows 7 I used to have the error that other people get to the Task Scheduler that the task no longer exists. In any case, I have no more errors since the question based on advice on this forum to delete each task which does not exist in the Task Manager, but exists in the attachment folder. If the error that the task no longer exists does not.

    The problem is now task will run once, after that reboot a pc they rerun the habit. He said that the task is scheduled to run at 08:00 on Wednesdays of each week. But after that I restarted my pc it does not work yet. The next section begins to show nothing then.

    The task in services.msc schedule is set to automatic. I should also mention that the service does not seem to me to change if its auto, manual, other services. I believe that I am the admin, I am the only user of this computer, no accounts are put in place, its just me, and I never had problems with the admin.

    Forecasts of the tasks are not that difficult, after I corrected the error, I hoped that would be the end, but no, forecasts of the tasks still does not work, something so fundamental should not cause many headaches.

    Well looks like I found my answer, microsoft does not task scheduler does not work after restarting.

    Here is the original thread, I made mentioned, dealing with my first issue with Task Scheduler showing an error indicating that the tasks no longer exist. This thread has solved the problem that I no longer receive the error that the task no longer exists, but close to the last post on the thread below, someone explains the problem that I have now with the pc, not to remember to perform next time.

    This thread below will fill you in on everything I mention since Task Scheduler, defragment break Task Scheduler.

    And as one person on the States of thread at the end

    "Sorry, Joseph... but it is not the answer." Oh, Yes... you can recreate the tasks that are causing the problem (in my case, something like 25... Count em... 25. created by the system of tasks in Microsoft files). Everything seems fine. Restart now. BLAMMO. You're right back where you started.

    Microsoft: Task Scheduler in W7x64 is BROKEN. Horribly, undeniably BROKEN.  Acknowledge the problem and FIX this MESS. »

    It sums up my thoughts exactly.

  • Event Viewer/Task Scheduler error message

    I get the error message "MMC could not create the snap" in Task Scheduler and Event Viewer. I tried various things, including a reinstallation of the .NET Framework, and nothing seems to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    michiganjoe,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    The first thing I would try is to run the System File Checker to see if any system files got corrupted:
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    If this does not work, we need a little more information, the better to help you.  What version of Vista are you using?  When exactly this error happen?  Is that what you see in the event viewer, or you get the error when you try to open the event viewer and Task Scheduler?
    Have changes made to your computer recently, as new hardware or installed software or an update / upgrade to software or drivers?  Have you tried to do a system restore to before the problem came first?
    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    Click Finish.
    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Let us know the status of your problem and if we can also provide assistance.

  • Task Scheduler error: "... task: the task image is corrupt or...»

    When I run the Task Scheduler which exactly follows the error message appears in a popup window: ' task32498346 task: the task image is damaged or has been tampered with.

Very detailed solution from Microsoft Support does work for me because the first step is to go to Task Scheduler Library and find the folder in which the corrupted task is in. I carefully searched the whole library, and there is certainly no 'task32498346' in the Task Scheduler Library. I'm not aware of all this causes me problems. Everything seems to work OK. I came just to have stumbled on this because I was curious how the Scheduler works. I looked in Services and Task Scheduler started.

  • Task Scheduler works with scripts created in open Script?

    1. What is the user account in the Task Scheduler are you for the work you are trying to use the Task Scheduler?

    The error code indicates that the user account that was used to create the job no longer exists. This could be because the user account is deleted. I suggest that you remove and re-create a job and check if you have the same problem.
