Are you running Pro? If so, have you checked: services.msc

Go to Start/Run and type: services.msc. Scroll downt to Protected Storage,
double-click it and change it's startup type to Automatic and if it isn't
already running, click start.

Added info:

Task Scheduler Fix

A scheduled task can be run without passwords:

For Pro: Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security
Policy/Local Policies/Security options. In the right hand pane (third down).

Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only.
This is enabled by default, disable it.

For Home: Run Scheduled Task without a Password (Line 67)
