Patch Management Solution 7.5.x, 7.6.x and 8.x
Confirmed the Task Scheduler service was disabled or not started with Manual configuration.
The recent changes presented in PMImport 7.2.x has implemented the dependency of this service when running the Software Update Cycle and hooks into the Client's ability to run automated tasks and restart at the end of the cycle.
The Task Scheduler service is detailed on Microsoft's TechNet: The Task Scheduler service enables you to perform automated tasks on a computer. With this service, you can schedule any program to run at any time or when a specific event occurs. The Task Scheduler monitors the time or event criteria that you choose and then executes the task when those criteria are met.
Review the following remedial steps:
Note: The Task Scheduler service must be configured as outlined above for the Client to run the Software Update Cycle. However, in cases of disabling this service to harden the Clients; create a custom Task Job on the Console to run a custom script on the targeted Clients which will start that service at the beginning of the Software Update Cycle window and then disable the service at the close of that window.
