This post is a litle bit old, but i had the same issue and a found a funny solution. I don't know if this is your case, but i using a Notebook that was not connected from the power. Well... Just disable the option "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" (or just put it on the power) and have fun!

Answer 2

I had faced the same issue and after making a small setting change it worked! Screenshot is attached. When I selected red tick option from X option, it did the trick.

Initially, I selected "Do not start a new instance" and the job was going in "Queued" state. When I changed it to "Stop the existing instance" it worked for me!

Hope it could help.

Answer 3

Too bad I only found this post now, we encountered the same issue. What solved it for us was to run a sysprep (without generalize), reboot the machine and rejoin it into the domain.

Hope it will help you / someone in the future.

Unfortunately I was not able to find the reason for this. I had to delete all tasks and add again to solve the issue.
