I am running the example given on https://taskscheduler.codeplex.com/ on my localPC.
__CODE:__
using (TaskService ts = new TaskService())
{
// Create a new task definition and assign properties
TaskDefinition td = ts.NewTask();
td.RegistrationInfo.Description = "Does something";
// Create a trigger that will fire the task at this time every other day
td.Triggers.Add(new DailyTrigger { DaysInterval = 2 });
// Create an action that will launch Notepad whenever the trigger fires
td.Actions.Add(new ExecAction("notepad.exe", "c:\\test.log", null));
// Register the task in the root folder
ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(@"Test", td);
}
I see this Behaviour:
* This fails on Windows 10 PC.
* This works on WIndows 7 PC.
* This works on Windows 10 PC if I start the application as "Run as administrator"

__I want to run the application without using "Run as Administrator" on windows 10. Can you suggest a fix.__

The Troubleshooter was running with an administrator account. I have tested to click the option to run as administrator in the first page of the wizard, and the troubleshooter advise me to give the right "Log on as a batch job". This right is enabled by default for the Administrator group, to which my account belongs.
The behaviour is reproduced in other Windows 10 installations? Just, to be clear, I am logged as administrator in the machine (with a domain account), but not with the default administrator.
