Tasks in Task Scheduler remain "Enqueued"


  • I started to see this problem with tasks, which are not started automatically. Problem seems to get resolved for a short time by restarting Windows server.
    There is also long wait before loading the "Task Scheduler" page, sometimes throwing error:

    Server Error in '/' Application.
    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
