Most Current Scheduler Version?

Thread needs solution

I find that almost every time my Win10 updates, the scheduler on one of my computers doesn't start on startup. I resolve it by re-installing the schedule and most of the time that works. However I don't know if I am using the most up to date version of the scheduler. Is there a way to find that out (the files on the version I have are dated 5/17/2013). I guess I could do a clean uninstall and then reinstall the most current ATI version but that's obviously a lot more work than just reinstalling the 2 scheduler files.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, the best way of ensuring all required files are at their correct and latest levels would be to either do a Repair install by installing a fresh copy of the installer over the top of what you already have, but if this doesn't resolve the issue then a clean install would be needed.

Prior to a repair, I'd like to make 2 suggestions...

1) set the schedule service from automatic to automatic-delayed.  If Windows services are taking longer than 2 minutes to start, that will prevent 3rd party services from fully loaded in time.  Setting it ot automatic-delayed gives it another 2 minutes and has helped others.

2) Additionally, in your backup job under scheduling advanced, set the option to "run at system startup with delay" from 0 to 2 minutes to buy a little more time before it tries to kick off as well.  If the scheduleer service hasn't started, then this won't be able to work properly either.

After making the changes, reboot and see if the scheduler service starts up - but be advised it may take 4 minutes (2 for Windows services to start + 2 for the delay of the Acronis service)

If it doesn't, then I'd do the repair as well.
