Windows 11 22H2 upgrade breaks "Run whether user is logged on or not" scheduled tasks

Anonymous

I have a number of scheduled tasks with the "Run whether user is logged on or not" option set, with the default setting of storing the password for the account.

Everything was running fine, until the 22H2 update.

Now such tasks won't start, yielding

"Task Scheduler failed to start "xxx" task for user "yyy". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726.

Re-entering the password for the (local) user account does not help.

If I check the "Do not store password" option the task can start, but this prevents the task from accessing network resources.

Repro'ed on two machines, so doesn't feel like a configuration issue.

Any clue?

We still do not have a resolution to this task scheduler issue. The latest update did not resolve. Please give us a way to uninstall 22H2 so that task scheduler works correctly again with my batch files. This is an important tool that I have relied upon for years until the 22H2 update broke it.

I agree, the issue was not resolved. Task scheduler is still not functioning correctly with my Robocopy scripts.

Looks like we still haven't gotten a remedy for this issue in this months windows updates. So do we have to wait until 23H2? If so then we need a way to uninstall the Feature Update.
