Error Occurred for Task Scheduler – Logon Session Not Valid
Recently, I encountered an error with the Task Scheduler in Windows, specifically the “Logon session not valid” issue.
Verify and Correct Task Arguments
1. Open the Task Scheduler by searching for it in the Start menu and selecting it from the results.
2. Locate the task that is causing the error and double-click on it to open its properties.
3. Go to the Actions tab and click Edit. Ensure that the correct program/script and arguments are specified.
4. If the task is set to run with highest privileges, make sure the account used for running the task has the necessary permissions.
5. After making any necessary changes, click OK to save the changes and close the properties window.
By verifying and correcting task arguments in the Task Scheduler, you can resolve the “Logon Session Not Valid” error and ensure that your tasks run as intended.
It repairs damaged system files, secures the system from virus damage, addresses freezing programs, and automatically fixes damaged DLLs. It can also repair the causes of the Blue Screen of Death and compare the current operating system with a healthy version for OS recovery.
Ensure Task Scheduler Service Functionality
To ensure that the Task Scheduler service is functioning properly, follow these steps:
1. Check the Task Scheduler service status: Open the Start menu, type “services.msc” and press Enter. Scroll down to find “Task Scheduler” in the list of services. Make sure the status is set to “Running.” If not, right-click on “Task Scheduler,” select “Start” from the context menu, and wait for the service to start.
2. Verify group policy settings: If the Task Scheduler service is still not functioning properly, check the group policy settings for Task Scheduler. Double-click on “Task Scheduler” in the Group Policy Editor and ensure that the policy is set to “Not Configured” or “Enabled.”
3. Restart the computer: If the issue persists, try restarting your computer to see if that resolves the problem.
