Hello,

On a PC, every time I shut down the computer, I get an error message saying that schtasks.exe hasn't been properly installed or activated.

I've checked the processes and it's there. When I end this process, the message no longer appears when I shut down my PC.

So, I would like to know how I can prevent this executable from starting up when the computer boots.

Thank you in advance for the responses.

run a CCLEANER on the registry and perform a complete disk cleanup.

Hello,

Probably an issue related to your outdated JAVA software.

You need to uninstall it, restart, and reinstall the latest version:

Thank you for your responses, but it's not working.

I performed a full cleanup with CCleaner and I still have the error.
I checked the Java update and it is correct.

Is there anything else I can do?

I uninstalled and reinstalled Java and it's the same

Isn't it possible to prevent schtasks.exe from launching at startup?

look in the services if you find it to disable it:

start, run, and type: services.msc

or in msconfig, (start, run) startup tab.

In the services, there is no name for the service.
Apparently, it is not a service since in the task manager
schtasks.exe is a process; when I stop it, the error goes away.
The description is: task scheduler management.

What should I do?

I looked, I can't find that name.
Is this software related to Java? Because I do have at startup Java(TM) Platform SE6U10
that launches.

No,
try to do what is indicated in this link.
I have to leave for the morning. If your problem is not resolved when I get back, I will look into it again. Good luck.

Copy of the message addressed to lionel__86:

Thank you for your question and especially for the relevant responses it generated, aside from that of the "virologist" (just that!!!) as effective and original as a prescription-happy military doctor. I will send a copy of this email to hisaeh to congratulate him on his Javanese intuitions. Your algorithm for deleting the incriminated files was clear and solved the issue, which, while not very serious, was dangerously affecting my fragile obsessive nerves, especially since it was accompanied by one of those annoying sounds that Windows is famous for every time it closed. For my part, I found it simpler, as suggested by hisaeh, to go through msconfig.exe in the Start menu of Windows, then the Startup tab in the window, and uncheck the file "Java (TM) Platform SE 6 U5," which corresponds to the file "SunJavaUpdateReg" in Ccleaner. I did not delete (maybe it serves a purpose?) "Java (TM) Platform SE 6 U 11," which corresponds in Ccleaner to "SunJavaUpdateSched." Did I do the right thing? But it's working!!! Thanks again to everyone.

Hello Hothello,
I see that I have a pleasant namesake on CCM, pleasant because their response has a style and relevance (and also a spelling so rare on the net) that I like.
So, hello Hothello and "to the chances of the road"!
Hothello again.

I removed "java(tm) platform se6u10" at startup and since then I no longer have the error.
schtasks.exe is still in the process but when I shut down the PC there are no more messages.

Sometimes there is no error, other times yes.

For now, I'm keeping your last solution in mind.

Thank you for all the advice that has helped me progress with the error.

Hello,

After searching and testing, I managed to solve this problem.
Here’s how I did it:

1/ Install Ccleaner
2/ In Ccleaner, under Tools -> Startup, I disabled SunJavaUpdateReg and SunJavaUpdateSched
3/ Open Command Prompt by right-clicking and selecting Run as administrator
4/ schtasks /query (Display the information)
5/ schtasks /delete /TN Java(nom_utilisateur)Update (Observe the case sensitivity)
6/ Stop and restart, and the problem should be gone.

I hope this information can be useful to others.

Thanks to those who guided me to the solution to the problem.
So it is indeed a Java problem.

Hello everyone, and thank you for the solution to my problem knowing that I only disabled SunJavaUpdateReg and SunJavaUpdateSched with ccleaner and it worked, thanks again.
