Disabling a scheduled task

You can disable a scheduled task that has been started with the Enable command.

About this task

You can select multiple scheduled tasks to disable.

When a task is initially created, it is put into a disabled state. The Enable command starts the task so that the timer begins running. The task executes based on the schedule that you set for it. The Disable command can be used to stop an enabled, scheduled task.

Follow these steps to disable one or more enabled, scheduled tasks:

  5. A warning message is displayed for confirmation. Click Yes to disable the task. Click No to exit without disabling the task.
  6. If you click Yes, a message appears indicating that the selected task or tasks were disabled.
