Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2119-10-19T18:07:58Z. Error Code: 0x80041316
This series of steps worked for me. It is an abbreviated version of this solution.
- Back up all files in the directory
C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
just in case - Add an XML extension to the files in the
SoftwareProtectionPlatform
folder - Navigate to to Computer Management->System Tools->Task Scheduler->Task Scheduler Library->Microsoft->Windows->SoftwareProtectionPlatform
- Right-click on each task and select Delete
- Right-click on SoftwareProtectionPlatform, Import Task, and import each of the files that you renamed. Don't worry if they don't appear in the Task List.
- Navigate to Computer Management->Services and Applications->Services and restart the Software Protection service
- Check the Event Viewer to verify that the errors have stopped
- Delete the XML files in the
SoftwareProtectionPlatform
folder

our Windows Server 2012 Essentials is getting evenvwr poluted with the error message bellow and attached every 30 seconds. I've done a lot of research but nothing worked so far, this is what I tried:
Check the NETWORK SERVICE permissions on C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows (it has FULL CONTROL)
checked services and its dependencies and ensure they are running and have startup mode = automatic
checked windows license with slmgr /ato
started and stopped sppsvc service with net stop sppsvc/ net start sppsvc
This is our domain controler so I can't reinstall Windows - Any help please?

Tiago over 4 yearsHi Ramhound, the problem is that the eventvwr is getting this error every 30 seconds and, after researching a lot and trying a couple of different things, I couldn't get this resolved. What I need is a help to identify the root cause of this error and resolve it.

Ramhound over 4 yearsProvide the relevant information (screenshot) for each potential resolution described here. While you have specified you verified the permissions on a folder, it's not clear, if you verified the permissions on the folder specified in the support article for this problem. This error being generated, is specifically connected to a permission problem, on a folder surrounding the task scheduler.

Jayden almost 3 yearsDeleting, re-importing task and restarting service appeared to fix this for me.
