    The user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task

    this is something that's been bugging me since windows 8, is it possible to disable tasks that give you the above msg?

    already changes permissions for;

    c:\windows\system32\tasks

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows

    never did find a solution, but never asked on here before.

    Change the permissions on tasks files, not registry
    i.e.
    Code:
    takeown /f "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /A
    icacls "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F
    schtasks /Change /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /DISABLE
    or just lanuch taskschd.msc with system privileges

    Did you run cmd as admin?
    Code:
    takeown /f "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /A

    How do you run a command as Trusted Installer (TI)? A quick google only shows methods involving installing/downloading 3rd party programs.
