This is really a very quick post. If you don’t have access to your task scheduler, because your local/group policy has denied accesses to it, you can run it by creating a bat file with the following :

reg delete "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2210719521-449599147-3807732984-1007\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Task Scheduler5.0"
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Task Scheduler5.0"

or, if you can’t be bothered, just download it here.

Run the bat file, it will ask if you want to delete, and you’re done. You can now access task scheduler to create/run and stop scheduled tasks.
You may want to save this, as the policy will be re-applied on reboot/re-login.

Enjoy!
