About this tag
The task history tag covers discussions about viewing and interpreting the history tab in Windows Task Scheduler to troubleshoot scheduled tasks that fail to run automatically. Users report tasks that work when run manually but not on schedule, and they examine the history log for errors or missing events. Common issues include tasks being altered by the system, such as the Run As user being changed to SYSTEM, which prevents proper execution. The history tab is used to track task creation, modification, and trigger events. These threads focus on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2016 environments, with users seeking to understand why tasks are recreated or modified and how to prevent it.
