It's not a bug, some tasks are restricted to System account, and some even require TrustedInstaller privileges

this exist in all Windows 10 / Server releases

 

the easy way is to take ownership and grant permissions to administrator for all files under C:\Windows\System32\Tasks

 

or you can try to use Task Scheduler itself to run a task as SYSTEM which disable the relevant task

e.g.

SCHTASKS /Create /F /RU "SYSTEM" /RL HIGHEST /SC HOURLY /TN SystemTasks /TR "cmd /c SystemTasks.cmd"
SCHTASKS /Run /I /TN SystemTasks

where SystemTasks.cmd contain the commands to disable the tasks

e.g.

SCHTASKS /Change /DISABLE /TN "Microsoft\Windows\WaaSMedic\PerformRemediation"

 or use 3rd party program NSudo to launch taskschd.msc as TrustedInstaller
