Steps

  1. Select Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. In the Services window, scroll down to Task Scheduler.

    If the status is Started, you need do nothing. Otherwise, do one of the following:
    • If the Status column is empty, right-click Task Scheduler and select Start.
    • If the Status is Paused, right-click Task Scheduler and select Resume.
