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? Spoiler Code: takeown /f "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /A SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" now owned by the administrators group. icacls "C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F processed file: C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files schtasks /Change /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" /DISABLE INFO: Scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" has already been disabled. SUCCESS: The parameters of scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\SettingSync\BackgroundUploadTask" have been changed.
How do you run a command as Trusted Installer (TI)? A quick google only shows methods involving installing/downloading 3rd party programs.
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/m2-team-nsudo-new-version-4-0.59268/ what's wrong with 3rd party?
Thank you, good sir. Nothing really, was just hoping there would be a way to do it without using a 3rd party program (use a script or something similar).
