schedule task that shutdown machine every Friday at 12:00 am

Hi experts
I have server that have lot of sceheduled tasks more than 300 tasks and I need to either disable schedule task that run every Friday at 12:00 am or get name of task that runs every friday at 12:00 am by using batch or powershell or find source of this issue and name of scheduled task

I can not just follow your problem, you need a script to shutdown the machine or you have to find out why a shutdown happens...
The first maybe shutdown /i , you can also set all parameters and run it silently.
The second maybe connected to the command sc which can be used to deal with task.
But I would rather have a look into the task scheduler itself inluding the history, as well there is a task scheduler related Application event log to see what happens around 12:00

Sort the scheduled tasks by last successful run and check for the one that occurs on Fridays at midnight?

It is around 500 or more scheduled tasks events as it is messy and need smart way to find that in organized manner
