Task Scheduler error 0x80070002
Hi all,
Windows 11 Pro 24H2
I want to run a scheduled task to start the screensaver to show a black screen. The task is running as the local user only when logged on.
I set it up with the Action "%systemroot%\System32\scrnsave.scr /s"
When the task runs, it doesn't work and has the error 0x80070002 with Error Value: 2147942402.
Looking online this error suggests File not found.
If I copy and paste this command directly into a Run box it works fine though. I tried using the full path c:\windows\system32\scrnsave.scr but get the same error.
Does anyone know why I am getting this error?
thanks
Justin

Run schtasks /query /tn \task name as an administrator to check the path, or rebuild the task to resolve the issue.
