I recently looked into Task Scheduler and saw that there was a host of entries.
TBH I do not have a clue what purpose some of these serve.
Some show no author, and others show authorship by a application that is no longer on the system.
There are one or two that I know do not work.
Is there any risk in removing any of these tasks?

Details are attached.

you can disable them and make a note of which ones you have disabled
then wait for a few weeks and if no errors or problems have occurred delete them.

that's how i deal with unwanted/unneeded tasks in task scheduler.
best of luck Steve ..
