How do I show my user created task which does not show up in Windows 2008 task scheduler?

Question

From within "Task scheduler (local)", within the task scheduler application of Windows 2008 server, I have created a new task.

However the user created task doesn't show up in the list of "Active tasks". That list starts with entry "Database One Copy Alert".

Regression

• I know the tasks is there because creating another with exactly the same name results in an error message that there already exists a task with that name.
• It doesn't matter wether I create a "Basic task" or just a "Task".
• Ccleaner does show the user created task.
• Enable showing hidden tasks in Windows task scheduler doesn't improve.

How can I show the user created scheduled tasks?

Answer 1

In the left pane of the "Task scheduler" navigate to and select "Task Scheduler Library".

Not the plus sign, the words themselves, and you will see your custom scheduled tasks:
