Cant enable Task Scheduler

[Guest]

i am trying use my task scheduler and not matter how i log in...admin or use
with admin rights... i cant enable it. buttons are grey. how can i re-enable
it?

 

[Steve Easton]

Is the Task Scheduler service started in Services?
If not, Start it and then set it to Automatic.

Where is it gray?

 

[Guest]

when i go into the services to start it the 'on/off' switches are grayed out.

 

[Guest]

I take it no one has any suggestions on my issue?

Start > services.msc
Check the 'Task Scheduler' service is on automatic

 

[Guest]

thats part of the problem. no matter if im on as admin or user with admin
rights..i can't turn on any servers that will allow me to use that task
scheduler.

Check that 'Windows Event Log' is on automatic too.The 'Task Scheduler'
service depends on that one.
Put them both to automatic,and then do a reboot. See if that does the trick.

 

[Guest]

the event is set to automatic. i have the ability to start and stop that.
but, it makes no difference. the task schedular wont budge.

Try looking in Event Viewer for errors relating to Task Scheduler.

Start > eventvwr.msc
If you can discover any error codes / messages, then that can help.


Also if you have a restore point prior to the problem then you also could
try that.

the event logs arent showing me anything either.

Trying setting it OFF - Manual
Reboot and turn it back on Automatic and reboot again.

 

[Guest]

thats the problem..i cant do anything with it. the options are all grayed
out. i cant stop, stop, or auto anything in the events schedular.
