    Windows Task Scheduler is grayed out


    I want to defragment my hard drive but it wont let me due to the task scheduler being disabled. I go to open up the task scheduler and it says "The remote computer was not found" and it opens the scheduler and all the options are greyed out. Been searching google for a while and cant find a solution I tried going into the registry and changing start from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 and rebooting but still doesn't work! Anyone have a solution?

    How much tweaking like that have you done on Win7, as it may have caught up with you?

    Run a full scan with Malwarebytes,
    uninstall any bloatware AV and install Microsoft Security Essentials, run a full scan.

    Next run SFC /SCANNOW Command, report back results.

    Yes, uninstall AVG googling first for a removal tool if available since it is terrible bloatware.

    Then continue with these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7
