The surest way get to the Task Scheduler is by going to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Task Scheduler.
There are items here that I like to disable and but I was wondering what any of you think should be disabled.
I'll start with my favorite.
On an SSD I like to go and disable the scheduled Defrag or outright delete the entry. I read somewhere that Windows will not run the defragger on an SSD but I disable and take it off anyway and be safe.
Also anything in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) gets disabled but so far I've not deleted them.
The entry in the Autochk folder is also related to the CEIP and is disabled.
DiskDiagnostic folder has an entry about data collection for the CEIP and is also disabled.
In Application Experience I disable the first 2 items but leave StartupAppTask running. I'm not really sure what this does.
For a desktop I disable the item in Mobile Broadband Accounts.
I've always wanted to do more research into the LocationNotification.exe but haven't taken the time.
There's a few more I like to disable but I'd like to hear what you like to do. There's a few entries in Services (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services) that I also like to disable but this will be for another thread.
On that note, there are entries in the Shell directory of Task Scheduler related to FamilySafety that gets disabled. Then this disabled in "Services". The note for Family Safety says "It is provided for backward compatibility only". I've never used this so I have no need for it but others might.
That's it for me for now. Will add more next week.
