I enabled the log, and there was nothing in it. The conclusion was tasks were not running, and I have to understand why ;-. I have the same problem with the Task Scheduler on a Windows Server. I found if I selected Indefinitely the task will not run. Once I selected Weekly and everyday of Day of the week and set the duration to days the task Started to function Correctly.

I am going to experiment with going back to Daily and set the time to every 5 min and try different of day's by year ie.. Guys, any update on it? I confirm this issue on my Windows 10 20H2.
