Windows is preventing the editing of a scheduled task
I am trying to change the time a scheduled task runs. The task, Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser, was created by Windows (in task scheduler its path is under Microsoft-Windows-Application Experience). Even if I launch Task Scheduler as an administrator I am prevented from either editing the task or deleting it/replacing it and I see a "Task Scheduler service is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it." error window.
I have attempted to edit the same task on another Windows 10 PC with the same results so I have to assume Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom , has somehow locked that task to prevent it being edited.
Does anyone have a work around for this issue?
