title: Windows Scheduled Task not working after a reboot
body: <p>I have created scheduled tasks to run each day at various times in the morning, on 6 different machines, all running Windows 7 x64.</p>
  
  <p>These tasks have largely worked over the last few years, but we have a persisting issue with tasks not triggering at times, and never after a restart.</p>
  
  <p>Without touching the Task Scheduler application at all, restarting the machine will mean that the next time the task is meant to be triggered, it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Running any task manually after the restart appears to avoid the issue.</p>
  
  <p>This issue exists for scheduled batch files and PowerShell scripts.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a specific setting that is needed to keep the task working after a system restart, or is this a known outstanding issue?</p>
  
  <p>The most recent time this happened, we have captured the history:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error       | 27/02/2017 03:15:00 | 101 | Task Start Failed
  Information | 27/02/2017 03:15:00 | 107 | Task triggered on Scheduler
  
  Result code for failure: 2147943645
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Update 2017-03-01: One machine doesn't work and produces the above error, and another machine shows nothing at all. Clutching at straws about this issue here.</p>
  
  <p>If I tick the box 'Run whether user is logged on or off' The task is invisible. We can't do this. Any other suggestions are welcome!</p>
  
  <p>Update 2017-03-02: Ticking 'Run whether user is logged on or off' is causing no end of issues. None of our Access macros run anymore, and other 3rd party applications called from the batch don't work with numerous permission errors. This is not the solution!</p>
