I have a laptop running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit with Media Center. The laptop has a problem with the repeating SvcRestartTask error in Event Viewer. I read some people had luck with fixing that by copying files from C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform and exporting-importing the tasks found at Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > SoftwareProtectionPlatform from an up to date Windows 8 computer that doesn't have the repeating error to the computer that has the error. I'm stuck at adding the permissions for the files I copied. Files copied from an NTFS file system to a flash drive don't keep their permissions so I'm reconfiguring the permissions. There are two principals I can't find: sppsvc and Microsoft-Windows-SoftwareProtectionPlatform-SvcRestartTask. I try to add them and see the error message An object (User, Group, or Built-in security principal) with the following name cannot be found: "sppsvc". Check the selected object types and locations for accuracy and ensure that you have typed the object name correctly, or remove this object from the selection. If those two principals can be added then I must be trying to do it the wrong way. How can I do it?
