Error 1083 : Task Scheduler Service do not start

[CaspaR]

I need some help to deal with Task Schedular Service. I am not able to access the same at all. When I try to start it I am getting error. The detailed information on error is - The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service. And the error code is 1083. In Event Viewer the error is related to task schedular. There is a executable service configured to run properly through it. But somehow it fails to start. What should I do.

It can be due Task Schedular service. Go in Administrative Tools > Services and check that it is working or not. You must right click on that and set it on automatic. So that when it is called through some application it can start. Another thing you can try is running the same through cmd. Just type net start Task Scheduler and hit enter. It might start working. I had provided a link below. In that look for Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service. (0x8007043B)under troubleshooting steps.

You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the "0x80246008" code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site
