Solving 0x800710E0 Error in Scheduler

proglearn · Apr 28, 2023

I'm trying to run several apps through scheduler. In every instance I get error 0x800710E0, with message "administrator refused request". Tried to change the user account through "Change user or group..." several ways, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Do you get a message of any kind?

Make sure you have no corrupt system files that is causing this problem. Open a command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow
Pay attention to the scan results to see if SFC found anything it could not repair. If it found corruption it could not fix followup with this command (note the spaces)
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Restart computer
(Note-you can follow up with another sfc /scannow command to make sure that dism repaired the files)

Be sure to check the box marked "Run with highest privileges" on the general tab of the task or tasks in question.

Please post a screenshot of the task properties General tab.
Please explain whether those applications need Admin permission if you run them manually.

Many thanks for your reponse. It turns out that the required path to the executable program was incorrect in my scheduler "Actions".
