Check Disabled state after Disable-ScheduledTask status on Running Task

Hello to all, i seek your wisdom! I am trying to automate the following steps performed manually: - Disable a running scheduled task, but keeping it running. - Do actions that stop the task proces...

Hi,

Sorry, try this instead, which checks the Settings.Enabled property:

Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "SystemSoundsService" | ForEach-Object { [PSCustomObject] @{ Task = "$($_.TaskPath)$($_.TaskName)"; State = $_.State; Enabled = $_.Settings.Enabled; } }

The principle is the same as for Triggers, it's just that the Settings.Enabled describes the job as a whole rather than Triggers.Enabled that returns the status of each trigger in the Triggers array.

Cheers,
Lain
