Task Scheduler failed to start. Additional Data: E

Question

I am using windows 10 task scheduler to run tasks that require me using my personal user account (its necessary to use my user and not system user because of permission issues - I am part of an organization). In windows 7 computers everything worked fine but as we upgraded to win 10 I cant run the tasks without using the System user (as mentioned before it doesn't work because of permissions). I get the following error

Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726

all I found online was an advice to use the system user other then that nothing :-(

please save my day.

here is a picture of the settings that I want to change.

Answer 1

Today I got the same problem, (HRESULT) 0x8007052e (2147943726) "unknown user name or bad password"

My solution: was to Re-Asign the User on the "Change User or Group" button to get the lattest Active Directory information of the User.

Then I could Run the Task Again...

As a better practice, you could use an "Aplicative" User instead of a regular User which change more often in regular basis.

If you use your account, it may change your password every some quantity of days... and you will need to "fix it" again...

If you use an "Aplicative" account, it may change less than regular User...

You could do this by going to the task tab "General", then "Change User or Group" and assigning the "Aplicative" account, then "OK" Button.

Answer 2

After reading this post this is what worked for me. Go to properties of task Under General tab, at the bottom of that window you will see Configure for: Change that to the system you are using (in my case server 2012 R2) hit ok and enter your password.
