where to enable the Task Scheduler Service?

I want to back up my computer to an external hard drive.  The window that opens shows that the Task Scheduler Service is disabled.  I have searched but cannot find where I can activate the Task Scheduler.

Control Panel, administrative tools, Services.

Scroll to Task Scheduler, double-click it to display the page.

Click Start, apply, OK.

    I'm on Server 2008. I have a scheduled task that is not working properly. I went to Services, and I see that it is configured to start automatically and it is actually being run. The problem is that I can't stop, pause, or restart the service. Y at - there a command I can run that can stop or restart the service?

    Why not with the right button of the job itself in the Task Scheduler, and then stop it?

    There are several methods to stop the Task Scheduler service that. Here's one of them:

    1. Create a task scheduled, called 'StopScheduler' as follows:
      -Triggering factor: at boot time
      -Command: sc.exe
      -Settings: time stop
      -User: System
      -Run with the highest privileges.
    2. Right click on the task of StopScheduler, and then click Run.
    3. Solve your tasks.
    4. Restart the Task Scheduler.
    5. Disable or remove the task StopScheduler.

  • Windows xp Task Scheduler service does not start

    I have a problem with the Task Scheduler in XP SP3 (home edition) service. The service is configured to start automatically, but hangs during startup and the State is 'starting' permanently In this State, I can't start or stop the service manually.  If I disabled the service completely, restart, put it to manual and click Start, I get the following error:

    Unable to start the task on the local computer Scheduler service
    Error 1053: The service did not demand launch or control in a timely

    I am under an administrator with a password account, so that shouldn't be the problem
    The CPP and the services event log work correctly (Autostart value)

    I need to get this service running in order to allow the read-ahead on this pc. Currently the prefetch folder is totally empty the .ini file is missing as well as all the .pf files. I tried to rebuild the .ini with the help of the > rundll32.exe advapi32.dll, ProcessIdleTasks< command="" at="" the="" command="" prompt="" but="" this="" doesn't="" do="" anything,="" probably="" because="" of="" the="" lack="" of="" the="" scheduler="" service.="" in="" the="" registry,="" enable="" prefetcher="" is="" set="" to="" 3,="" monitoring="" both="" applications="" and="">

    Scheduler tasks and prefetch worked very well - I think that a setting in the registry is damaged or missing. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    It's curious.  The ST journal file must be in the Windows folder.

    I downloaded a copy of the file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311
    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    You have to put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    I don't know where to put the file mstask.ini - windows\system32 maybe?  There is no .ini file in the folder inf. so I don't know and you may need to try different places and keep reading...

    I don't think I've never reinstalled TS (but other things) so I did all the instructions on how to do it, but if the installation stops and asks you for a file, at this point, leave the installation 'wait' and then search your HARD drive for the file he wants to (be sure to include the search for hidden and system files too) and if/when you find return to the installation of waiting and fill the void or navigate to the folder where the installation file is enough (point installation where the file is, so it can find the file he wants to) and continue up to the next point.  You may need to do it for multiple files until you get all the way through it and you will see that some are just not on your HARD drive and you need to download.  You can't cancel the installation and start over every time - just work through a single file at a time by pointing the installation to the folder where the file he needs.

    Maybe later, I reinstall my TS service to practice and be able to understand the files he needs and give some better advice about this.

    Comodo may also interfere (I do not use it, but it's possible).  Did you see if your TS will start with disabled Comodo?

    You should also consider the malware, then you might want to start with this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  • How to use the Task Scheduler to send an email

    I have Windows Live Mail + Windows 7

    I want my computer to send an email to someone on his own. I opened the Task Scheduler and creates a new task using the Task Scheduler 'send and send '. The problem is that the program asks only me who he is, which comes from the e-mail and how to use smtp server... He doesn't ask for my mail server login and user name, so in theory it would be rejected... and when it comes to send the message, now it does nothing without any error message.

    I have 2 settings of e-mail in Windows Live Mail accounts but how do I know the Task Scheduler program which includes use of e-mail and how to connect to the account to send it?

    best,

    Charlie

    This task seems to be used only in limited circumstances where a local Windows based SMTP server is available and security credentials are already established.  There is an interesting discussion about this in
    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/winservergen/thread/f087c57c-57b8-4c7f-ba2a-feb04c51f5ba

    It looks like using a 3rd party to contact the external mail server might be the best bet.

    Thanks for your reply, but I'm looking to make use of the 'send an Email' task which included in Task Scheduler... is something that has been there for a while and I've never understood how it would work... I open the Task Scheduler, create a "fundamental task" and click 'send', but I is not even asking me my user name or password? only the smtp server and the email I want to use!

    The program is configured to run from a direct click using a text file specifying where the source files and destination.  Worked very well for a direct click or from the.

    Hello syncere99,

    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.
