I'm attempting to use a scheduled task to shut down my win XP PC. I get the error: Task Scheduler Error 0x80070005: Access is denied. I'm logged in with administrative privileges but am unsure why the task isn't starting or won't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone give me some pointers please?
Incidentally, as a work around, I have managed to get around this whole thing with a batch file on a timer.
Have you tried using Task Scheduler to start the batch file? i.e. if your batch file shuts down the PC, then let TS run the batch file at a certain time. Let TS use the highest privileges too. – Kevdog777 – 2013-05-22T08:48:08.590
I've just tried as a test, but it's the same as before. "0x80070005: Access is denied. You do not have permission to perform the requested task" – Ghoul Fool – 2013-05-22T09:02:31.460
