Task Scheduler catastrophic failure (error 0x8000FFFF)
Over and over again, while I'm in the Task Scheduler, I get a stating stop error "catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))", followed by "the Task Scheduler service is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it. "Can anyone decipher this and tell me what I should do to remedy this situation?

Hello
Added Scheduled tasks are
"C:\Windows\Tasks" where C: is the drive where Windows resides.
You shouldn't have to deal with tasks that have been added to the default Windows ones.
Tasks need to be added and removed in the Task Scheduler, although the backup registry
using Restore Points create should work. This is because each is assigned a SID.

I run Windows Vista - 64 bit.
When you open the Task Scheduler, I get 2 exceptions:
"The task schedule service is not available." The job scheduling will attempt to reconnect to it. »
and
"Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)).
I did basic stuff like the restart Task Scheduler service, restart the computer, etc.. Problem persists.
Answers are greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Looking at the services once again, I see that the service is "started" but is more stoppable.

Windows vista error - catastrophic failure - error occurred during automatic backup of files
- Windows vista service pack 2
- error 0x8000FFFF catastrophic failure code
- update browser GOOGLE chrome
- Run the disk check, have also partioned disks (supplied with the new laptop), but still keep on this error
SOLUTION:
The solution to the problem, I met is the following:
Step 1: RESTART your computer, press F8
Step 2: select the first OPTION (depending on the manufacturer of your computer, it may be first or second, and so on...)
The option is: fix my (the) computer
Step 4: It will load the same in SafeMode (just an example), select your OWN USER NAME (though more are available), log in as an ADMINISTRATOR (if you are the one)
Step 5: It will change into a small window asking you connect by using the command prompt: check this option (this may vary according to manufacturing, but it should be there)
Step 6: Now when you log in you should see X:\Windows\System32 >
Step 7: Change of disk C, D or E (essentially select your disk where the OS is installed)
NOTE: If NO leave are present select your ONE and ONLY by CAR.
If left are, for example: D and E (D contains BONES, E contains - your stuff)
Select drive with OS, i.e. D drive
Step 8: After your decision to step 7, it would look like
X:\Windows\System32\C:
Step 9: The result would now be C:\ >
SO BASICALLY WE ARE ACCESSING THE HDD FROM OUTSIDE
Step 10: Type Chkdsk/r/f
Step 11: wait for the results
The first 3 steps will be complete as soon as POSSIBLE, the 4th and 5th stage will TAKE ABOUT 120 minutes (variable, based on the hard drive, the computer specifications and especially your processor)
The result should tell you more about the DEFECTIVE AREAS, indexing ERRORS and similar stuff, and also they could be repaired.
When finished: TUPE OUTPUT
At the end of OUTPUT
and REBOOT
step 12: now even ONCE, go to the BACK UP CENTER, launch a NEW BACK UP, it should work :)
NOTE: I appreciate the incredible help with MICROSOFT research, engineers who were very thoughtful and dedicated to get my problem sorted out and help out me.
All these steps are suggestions for these engineers, NOT MY JOB: p

Win7 anomalies__ Task Scheduler
Recently, as soon as I open the Task Scheduler, "" error message: the specified account name is not valid "appears." The same message is displayed for each task. When I "ESC" for each task (the only way to remove the error messages), I find myself where I should go in the first place, and where I see the CorruptionDetector and DecompressionFailureDetector of the tasks have yet again; Neither appears in the active tasks, strangely, so I can't make corrective changes.
The RACTask also disappeared entirely from work, and I don't know how to add it to check the reliability of the laptop. I have run the System Maintenance and no problems are detected. everything seems to work properly.
I simply ignored Task Scheduler in total, you know, the ostrich-head-in-the-sand routine and just go about my business of usual VAIO laptop that I use only for Internet. I thought I would mention it to you, dear friends... see what you think.
Oh, and I downloaded all updates for VAIO Care today only to find that the program is now completely corrupted, useless.
Very strange, huh? Or is my laptop under remote control of crackers?

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.

Get a message from catastrophic failure with error 0x8000FFFF on backup code
Original title: I get a message of catastrophic failure.
Error code 0x8000FFFF while trying to backup files every time. What should I do about it?
Hi granniewilsey,
This problem occurs because the backup process detects that the system drive is dirty.
Windows Vista backup always includes the system as part of the backup drive. If the system drive is dirty, the backup process skips the system drive, and no snapshot of the system drive is created. Therefore, the backup cannot locate a snapshot of the system drive later, and the error occurs.
To resolve this problem, run the disk check to fix the error on the system drive. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the article below:
Error message when you try to perform a backup system on a Windows Vista-based computer: "catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".

Problems starting Vista error: 0x8000FFFF catastrophic failure
original title: Vista startup problems
Hello
Recently, my girlfriend was hurry to get to a file of his laptop computer. When she turned on, Windows was configuration of updates. She got impatient and forced a stop during Setup (holding the power button until the laptop is turned off). It turned back on it and got to the vista screen where the bars were loading scroll. But the problem was that they just kept scrolling and loading not OS even after 10-15 minutes. She has made a force off and turned back on the laptop. This time a screen come telling him to start windows normally or do a startup repair. She did the repair but it did not work. I came and tried to do a system restore to an earlier date, but the error message "Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)" came and said that he was unable to be repaired. The computer still works in safe mode. I'll have to reformat his computer? Or is there something else I can do?
She uses a Compaq laptop and running VISTA.
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Hello!
I'm working through a major problem with Media Center and trying to clean up my system. And I'm lucky to have the same problem with the TASK SCHEDULER. I think that several tasks of windows have been removed, but I'm not sure.
I get occasional catastrophic failure, then an error for a task that the name of the State account does not exist, then an error indicating MCUPDATE is corrupt.
I don't know how far back this problem goes, but its at least a month.
I ran scannow sfc and sfc verifyonly and it states that the system is fine.
I can't seem to stop and restart the Task Scheduler in the Services, even if logged in as an administrator, all the choices are grayed out.
I ran the command cmd /k sc qc eventlog

A scheduled task could not start leaving this message: Task Scheduler could not start '\Fence check Rota' task for the user "Alan Laptop\Alan". Additional data: error value: 2147943726.
The task ran on the previous 2 nights without problem Action is: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Excel.exe" / r "C:\Users\Alan\Documents\HSC\Fence Check\Fence check Auto Run.xlsm" and there is nothing wrong with it all the files are where they are supposed to be.
After "the event log online Help" takes me to a page that tells me to convert the code above in a decimal value and search for it on another page. This has error codes in the 0 to 15999 slices. The value I have to 214793726 is obviuosly not an Octal value because it contains the 9 digit and if a decimal value is greater than 15999 and if hexagonal then considerably higher.
Can someone tell me what is a failure?
My answer comes late, but I hope useful for those seeking a response.
As some have said above, changing the password has a role at the origin of this error. \
quickist fix (instead of changing long ms.config of microsoft) is:
in Task Scheduler, click the scheduled task properties > then settings
in the last option listed:
"If the task is already running, the following rule shall:
Select "stop the existing instance" in the drop-down list.
Save and exist.
This should fix it.

SFC scan can be run within the operating system or on the WinRE (Windows recovery environment). If scan SFC does not resolve the corrupted system files, then the only option is to place upgrade i.e. repair using Vista DVD installation.
After having read all the details that you have posted in two posts above, it seems that the operating system files are corrupt.
SFC scan details are stored in the following location: %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt
The Sfcdetails.txt file contains details of every time that the System File Checker tool has been run on the computer.
To make leveling up, follow these steps.
1. close all applications and restart the computer.
2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the DVD drive of the computer.
3. in the settings window, click install now.
Note: If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.
Note: The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.
4. in the list programs, click Setup.exe.
5. in the settings window, click install now.
6. click on connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
7. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.
8. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
9. on which type of installation do you want? screen, click upgrade.
10. when the installation is complete, restart your computer and try again to install updates.Note: Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.
Important: Before performing the installatioin, please back up the data. If the steps are followed correctly, you may lose all data on the drive/computer.

"Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".
Separated from this thread.
My Samsung backup drive happily ran for 2 years every night by Cobian. Then in November 2014 he ceased to work because Cobian backup software could not create files. Understand, the difficulty being explained here. But there must be another problem because when I try to create a file on the rear disc manually using the new folder in Explorer I get the same catastrophic failure and the same error code "Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)".
This has nothing to do with a dirty system drive so.
By the way I'm short W8 on a HP Pavilion...
Any ideas. I tried various fixes but you have not seen anyone with this problem recently. Many jobs are back in etc 2010.
Hi Richard,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community in detail. I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing right now. I will help you on that.
The issue you described can occur if the backup process detects that the system disk is corrupt.
What are the steps you did to solve the problem?
I suggest you try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.
Method 1
Run the as System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Method 2
This problem may occur if there is a virus or malware present in the computer. Run Microsoft Safety Scanner because it can scan and remove viruses, spyware and other malicious software on the computer.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Method 3
Run the disk check and check. Is there is no problem concerning the material, then it will try to correct this. Refer to the steps below:
a. click Start, type command prompt in the start search, right-click on command prompt and then click on Run as Administrator.
b. type the following command:Chkdsk /r (there is a space between the k and /)
c. press on enter.
d. check the issue;
Note: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.
Method 4
If the problem persists, try refreshing the Windows and check. To see that, "refresh your PC without affecting your files' in the article below.Note: backup all your files and important files in an external storage is highly recommend device before performing any type of repair operating system or upgrade.
Feel free to post if you need help, we will be happy to help you.
