did it run ok before?<br />
has anything been changed, or updated- soft or hardware wise?

I posted a similar question a few minutes ago. &nbsp;All of the info I've found so far describes how to clean it up (delete the registry keys corresponding to the corrupted tasks, then recreate them). &nbsp;I'm trying to sort out how the corruption occurs. &nbsp;I've seen it on too many computers (about 10 so far, three different unrelated sites) to think it some obscure problem.

I received this very helpful link to my request:<br />
<a href="https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=repairtasks" rel="ugc">https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=repairtasks</a><br />
<br />
What is very handy about it is that it has a couple of links, one to Microsoft: <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2305420/ms10-092-vulnerability-in-task-scheduler-could-allow-for-elevation-of" rel="ugc">https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2305420/ms10-092-vulnerability-in-task-scheduler-could-allow-for-elevation-of</a>&nbsp;that describes how to fix the problem WITH keeping your scheduled tasks. &nbsp;All the rest I saw had you just delete them.<br />
<br />
The other link: <a href="https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Repair-CorruptedTampered-c8d2e975" rel="ugc nofollow">https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Repair-CorruptedTampered-c8d2e975</a>&nbsp;has a script to automate the process.<br />
<br />
I've not tried either yet, will do when I see the problem again.
