Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I've tried these steps before with same results. Please see below screenshots N0.1 running powershell version 5.1.14. This works and executes the scheduled task. Screenshot No.2 running powershell 5.1.19 with return code 4294770688 (failing). This is the only common variable I'm finding on the environment. Every google suggestion about error 4294770688 doesn't work. 

- directory path is accessible, right ntfs permissions, checked " " quotes, re-created scheduled task etc.  

Thanks again!

    HI

    I try it, these are my settings.

    Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      5.1.19041.1682
PSEdition                      Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion                   10.0.19041.1682
CLRVersion                     4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion              3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3
SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1

    I created a local share on my computer and created the task with a very basic script that writes info to the user's local profile. the script was executed from the shared folder, and the return code was 0 and all looks fine.

    I am using Windows 10 21H2

    If you use a local share, are you going to get the same error?
