No matter what I try to delete in Task Scheduler I get this error:
ERROR: Transaction support within the specified resource manager is not started
or was shut down due to an error.
I tried the old Vista fix with fsutil .. nothing
I tried deleting the folder contents of all schedule tasks from the command line. No error, but it did not make any difference.
Also when I try to delete old folders from software no longer installed, such as Norton AV, it gives no error when I confirm I want to delete the folder. But when I refresh, close and reopen, or reboot, then look in Task Scheduler, the same folders are still there. This is really weird.
I am still running Windows 8.0. I cannot update because this is an open box Laptop and Windows Update, System Restore, and a whole bunch of other system stuff does not work. I could not exchange it since it was a gift from someone on another continent. Less hassle just to use it since it does work. I use back up imaging programs to make up for the lack of restore points.
But now and then I get some software that insists on sticking in a scheduled task. So then I get an error every time I run the program.
