Question

Quote="During system boot, the SCM starts all auto-start services and the services on which they depend. For example, if an auto-start service depends on a demand-start service, the demand-start service is also started automatically. "
Now, Task scheduler services are "automatic" services. and this service is dependent on "windows event log" service. so does that mean that we cannot disable "windows event log" service??

Hi,
Task Scheduler service is depended on Windows event log service, so as you mentioned, Windows event log service can not be stopped if Task Scheduler service is started.
Here's an way stop Task Schedule serivce, launch registry editor, then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Schedule
and locate Start registry key, double click on
Start and edit
the value, change it to 4, then press F5 to refresh the registry, after restart PC, the Task Scheduler serivces will be automatically stoped.
