On this page, I see that Task Scheduler 1.0 came out with Win 98 (unless there was a version before 1.0) and Win XP (released in 2001) . . . and that Task Scheduler 2.0 came out with Vista (released in 2007) . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Scheduler
I have two machines . . . one with Win 8.1 (released in 2013), and the other with Win 10 (released in 2015) . . . I see that both of them have Task Scheduler 1.0
. . . This is 6 to 8 years after the release of Task Scheduler 2.0
I was having some problems getting Task Scheduler to run, so I thought, maybe there's a more current version of Task Scheduler out there, that's a separate update.
Also, I was thinking, why don't I at least have Task Scheduler version 2.0?
From clicking around, I learned that you cannot update the Task Scheduler in Windows, unless you upgrade to a newer version of Windows . . . (so why do Win 8.1 and Win 10 still only have Task Scheduler 1.0?).
This is apparently a bug, because I see on this page . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Scheduler#Bugs . . . that the version was corrected to Task Scheduler 2.0 in Win 8:
"On Windows Vista, 7, 2008, and 2008 R2: The MMC Component says that you are running "Task Scheduler 1.0" when in fact you are running 2.0, this is a trivial bug so it wasn't noticed, and is likely due to the re-write of the task scheduler. The version has been corrected to 2.0 in Windows 8 and in 2012."
. . . so, why do both of my machines say that they're running Task Scheduler version 1.0?
They must be running Task Schedule 2.0 on them . . . Is there any way to verify this?

2The build version of Task Schedule didn't change because they replaced a 1.0 version with a 1.0 version. Only Wikipedia calls it "2.0" – Ramhound – 2016-08-16T00:17:19.697
