JSI Tip 5152. When the Task Scheduler starts, error 1053 is generated?

When you try to start the Task Scheduler, you receive:

Could not start the Task Scheduler service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

This error will occur if the %SystemRoot%Schedlgu.txt file has the Read-Only attribute.

To fix this problem:

1. Open a CMD prompt.

2. Type attrib -r %SystemRoot%Schedlgu.txt and press Enter.
