The task scheduler is set to automatic but will not start.
The message reads could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer. Error 2:the system could not find the file specified. What should I do?

Something tells me whoever created the scheduled task must have moved the file it pointed at after the task was created.

If it were me, I'd delete that task and redo it ensuring the task points to the correct file.
