Scheduled Tasks stopped working

Featured Replies

My scheduled tasks quit working a day or two ago and I cannot seem to get it to work.

I have it set to run a virus scan every morning at 7 AM and it has not been doing it. I tried deleting the task and then recreating it and it still did not work.

I tried creating another task other than the virus scan, Disk Cleanup to be exact, to make sure it was not something wrong with the antivirus and it did not work either.

I checked under Admin Tools in Services and the Task Scheduler is set to Automatic and is running but it does not seem to work.

Try this:

Go into Services and STOP Task Scheduler and then DISABLE it.

Go to your Windows folder and delete SCHEDLGU.TXT (I could be off a letter or two on that filename).

Now set Task Scheduler back to AUTOMATIC and START it.

Post back if that worked.

Good Luck !

That fixed it.

Thank you very much.

Do you have any idea what caused it to stop working?
