Solved Task Scheduler Corrupted

[KingWhiskers]

Post Edit
I just found out what caused all this, after doing an Upgrade install Repair the first time I did not let windows update install Windows PowerShell 2 and I got all these errors.
On the next Upgrade install repair all was working then I removed Windows PowerShell 2 and I got all these errors back. So in conclusion only remove Windows PowerShell 2 just before you do an Upgrade Install Repair of Vista.

Also this causes Task Scheduler Errors
Look at this link it's a Microsoft Update from December 2010,
Microsoft know about this and have done very little about it.
Lots required to fix it manually so if you do a new or repair install of Vista or 7 set the updates to manual and check them out before you install them.
I have now done 3 Repair installs on my daughters machine and every time after it completes the updates Task Scheduler is Corrupt and you can't even Defrag your hard drive
Do Not install this update or do so at your peril.
MS10-092: Vulnerability in Task Scheduler could allow for elevation of privilege

Also note it does not affect every vista installation, only some, that is why there is not a proper Fix for it. It could be anti virus related and that is why it is so difficult to recreate. As I am running BT Net Protect Plus, by McAfee it might be something to do with that.

It gives an error code of (0x80041321) when you manually look at System Restore. Google this error code and you will see how many are affected by this.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi guys,
many thanks for the previous help, see this post

I got it working and all updated and all seemed fine.
I went and updated a few programs to latest versions Adobe reader being the last 1 then I thought I will do a defrag before cloning the hard drive in case I make any mistakes making this into a triple boot laptop.
I could not get the manual defrag to work and on investigation found that the Task Scheduler was corrupted.

I first got this Error Message

This I managed to fix quite easily by removing the file in C Windows\System32\Tasks\User_Feed_Synchronization-{5910E8CC-0352-46FA-87AB-F3DEAC632B2B} and this error disappeared.
Then I Get all these others and in Task scheduler logged on as an administrator and right clicking to run as an administrator I cannot delete the offending tasks or the folders in Task Scheduler to reinstall them.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
PS there are no real restore points from earlier as this was dual booting with XP and I have just done an upgrade reinstall to get it working again.
An idea, would trying to repair this in the hidden administrators account help?
All suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Yard Dog,
not found that one yet.
Trouble is though the folders that I want to delete to replace with fresh folders Vista will not allow me to delete.
I could use Copylock or something similar I suppose.
I will conquer this one way or another even if I have to do a fresh upgrade reinstall.
Thanks for the link though,

Hi Yard Dog,
that tutorial helped me understand further but you could not reapply tasks.
The only way to delete the task folders was in System32\Tasks\Defrag for example and then it would disappear from the Task Scheduler. then able to recreate the defrag folder and put the manual defrag in from my laptop running the same vista but when I tried to put in the scheduled defrag it said it was already there. This is from the hidden administrator account with full privileges and so could not complete it. I then said sod it and had deleted the the view headlines RSS Feeds that caused the task scheduler to corrupt before and did another repair upgrade install from the built in Administrators account and all now seems fine. Installed with no problems, checked the task scheduler and no error messages. Tried the Manual disk Defrager and it works, even the settings are still there. So it looks like I fixed it.
Keeping Fingers crossed.
I will whip it out and clone it when its finished defraging so I should not get this problem again.
regards and thanks again
