    I am tryin to change the sttings on my weekly virus scan in the taxk scheduler. The scan is set up but the check box for "Run task as soon as possible after start is missed" is unchecked and disabled. As a result, the computer is never getting scanned as it seems to miss the scheduled start each time.

    I have this set up on other computers without a problem but I don't know how to enable this instruction.

    I would have set the task to wake up the computer to run but I have had to disbale the wake timers as the computer was waking frequently on an ad hoc basis.

    Again, I have the wake timers disabled on the other computers and the instruction tp run the task works fine; it is just that that cannot be enabled on this one computer.

    Sorry, missed your post.

    I don't have an idea really, but if you say it works on other PC's, I would run a system check (sfc /scannow) to see if there could be a corrupted file that's causing the option to be disabled?

    You may want to check the schedule settings in the AV program itself, something could be awry there.

    I think it is because there is no password on the usre id.
