Delete the "Optimize Start Menu Cache Files" task

6

1

Many of you are probably familiar with the fact that when a new user logs into a server in Windows, there will be a new task created in the Task Scheduler which is called "Optimize Start Menu Cache Files-{SID}" with the sid of the user.

I'm guessing these tasks have something to do with optimizing the start menu. This doesn't sound very important. Often these tasks are even disabled. On a server which is used by many people, the Task Scheduler can sometimes be filled up with many of these, and it can be annoying to scroll through them to find the tasks you are looking for.

Is there ever any harm done by deleting these tasks?

No there is not any harm done by deleting these. I don't have an authoritative source, however, just my own experience, so I'm leaving this as a comment for now. If someone comes by with an answer, ping me or flag this comment for deletion. – TylerH – 2019-03-25T18:42:51.757
