Phantom Task in Task Scheduler

    When starting Task Scheduler an error box pops up saying: The selected task "Auto Shutdown" no longer exists. To see the current tasks click Refresh.

    See attached jpeg.

    I recently upgraded from Win7 to Win10. This is a task that was created in Win7 that apparently disappeared during the upgrade because it is indeed no longer showing in the Task Library and appears to no longer exist. That's OK - I can recreate the task, but this error box pops up every time I start Task Scheduler.

    I have tried to recreate the task with the same name but Windows will not permit this. I am unable to figure out how to clear this error.

    Thoughts?

    Does this task show when viewing CCleaner's > Tools > Startup > Scheduled Tasks?

    Thanks for responding!

    No, this task is not included in the list of Tasks in Ccleaner.
