I use Windows Task Scheduler to run some programs over night. It seems that if the Display Fusion screen saver is running, it disables scheduled tasks, with Event ID 142, in Task Scheduler. Also, when the screen saver stops, the task is enabled again in Task Scheduler, with an Event ID 140.

I don’t think it has always done this. I believe it may have started when I updated Display Fusion to the latest version last month.

User "xxx" disabled Task Scheduler task "\ShutDown PC"

User "xxx" updated Task Scheduler task "\ShutDown PC"

No. It only happens with the "Allow DisplayFusion to manage the Screen Saver" box checked. If I switch from DisplayFusion to Windows it's not a problem.

Thanks.

Here you go. The time was 1:04 PM.

Thanks.

I run a nightly backup, using MS SyncToy, and then just schedule the computer to shut down. Just for reference, I have been using Display Fusion and running these operations using Task Scheduler for several years and this only became a problem recently. I originally thought it might have had something to do with updating Display Fusion recently but I reinstalled the older version and it still happens. Thanks.

Here they are. So you know, I also tried installing Display Fusion on two other computers I have and set up the same tasks to run on them. There were no problems with the tasks being "disabled" when the screen saver was running which makes me think it's something with this one computer.

If it helps, I'm including the history tab with this. Where it shows "task disabled" is when the screen saver is running.

Thanks.

Yes. They're all using the same screen saver and task scheduler settings.
