Some scheduled tasks are protected by the Windows System and can only be changed by the System account. So, how do we do that? By acting as the System account. We can do that using a Microsoft tool (created by SysInternals), named PSExec. It is part of the Microsoft PSTools suite. You can find it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec
The kicker is the command-line switch -s. That activates the built-in System account.
Use sparingly and only if you have no better option. Know what you're doing. I am not responsible for your fuck-ups.
