Simple to state problem.
My wife's machine, she has an 'action' button and 'action' panel on her 'task scheduler' window.
There is no 'action' button on my 'task scheduler' window.
Neither is there an 'action' panel on the right side of my 'task scheduler' window.
Advise?
TNX in advance

Just below the menu items, there is a row of icons, click on the icon to the right of the question mark.

I now see that. I can see you upgraded from Vista and that your task scheduler window is different. I suspect the only way to fix that is a clean install. Did your wife also upgrade her system from Vista? I suspect not.
Nope. we both upgraded from WIN 7. BTW: I Had the same problem in Win7.I now see that. I can see you upgraded from Vista and that your task scheduler window is different. I suspect the only way to fix that is a clean install. Did your wife also upgrade her system from Vista? I suspect not.
It was definately something that I did in Win7. And I don't know how to make it right.

I guess that carried over with the upgrade. I suspect a clean install might be the only clear-cut solution. Best of luck
I selected "view" "options" and deselected all. Now my task scheduler window looks exactly the same as post #3 and I can't change it back as the "view" button on the menu bar has disappeared. Oops.

I shouldn't be laughing, but.... Someone at Windows 10 set a nice one-way trap. Definitely qualifies as a Windows 10 bug. Hopefully one of the other members of this forum can find a corrective action.

According to here Set MMC 3.0 Console Options you should be able to reset it by changing the console mode to "User mode - full access" (but it doesn't work for me).
I think I can see the problem in C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_taskschedulersettings_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10240.16384_none_52eb75789f0a2f2 a askschd.msc
It is the bits in bold I think - they don't exist in any of the other (many) copies of taskschd.mscbut if I change it makes Windows think it is unsigned (and still doesn't work). Guess I'll try and restore it from somewhere and see if that works. Grrrrr, what a PITA, that will teach me not to make a restore pointCode:<ViewOptions ViewMode="Report" NoStdMenus="true" NoStdButtons="true" NoSnapinMenus="true" NoSnapinButtons="true" NoStatusBar="true" NoTaskpadTabs="true" ScopePaneVisible="true" ActionsPaneVisible="true" DescriptionBarVisible="false" DefaultColumn0Width="200" DefaultColumn1Width="0"/>
Solution (for me anyway).
- + Rand type %appdata%<enter> to open roaming folder
- Browse to Microsoft, then MMC
- rename the file taskschd to taskschd_old
- Open task scheduler - this will create a new taskschd configuration file in %appdata% with default settings.
- Delete taskschd_old (if you want)
- Don't untick all options in View/customize view or you get stuck again
