Hi,

The Task Scheduler is disabled. In the Services Manager, all its options are
greyed-out, I cannot start it or switch it to Automatic. It is associated
with the Local System session.

Thanks for any idea !
 
Are you logged in as Admin?

Here is how to turn on the Advanced Admin

Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward.

First, open an elevated command prompt by typing

cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking

the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the

Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator .

Then enter this command and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:yes

From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an

option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts

you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware

that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a

password for it.

If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this

command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:no
 
You can get it started by changing this entry in in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\Schedule]

Change

"Start"=dword:00000004 (Disabled)

To

"Start"=dword:00000002 (Automatic)

then re-boot. This should get it running but I don't
know how to un-grey it so that it can be changed in the usual way.
