Cannot Create Scheduled Task in Win 10x64

Post by Orochi »

I am trying to schedule a backup but I cannot seem to create the task in win10 x64.
Basically I setup the task via image for windows gui and when I press OK, I am shown a prompt to set a password.
The dialog says that windows 10 AU contains a bug that may prevent the task from running.
When I select a password the dialog is shown again and again. If the password is left as blank, the task is not saved.
My Administrator account has no password. Why is the task not saved?
Thanks.

create another administrator account with a password to use for the
scheduled task.

What is Windows 10 AU anyways? An Australian version of Windows 10?
The workaround is not ideal by any means.
Image for Windows should create the task without asking for password, if Windows 10 is not AU and
only ask for password if it is AU.
Had to manually create the task in the scheduler.

Allllllrighty then !!!

In any event, the task created works flawlessly so far.
So maybe ifw can suggest using the password when creating scheduled task, instead of enforcing it.
