How to stop Task Scheduler?

Hello All,

I need someone's help on this. I ran a task to update files in my design library. But forgot to set the time for after work hours. I would like to stop the task and create a new one for later in the day. I went to Task scheduler already and deleted the task from the list, along with all the sub-tasks. It is still cycling through all the files and saving them in 2006.

How can I stop the task?

P.S. It also really annoying that it has to open and close solidworks to perform this kind of task. I wish that it would just keep solidworks open while doing this. It is starting to give me a headache looking at the screen flashing all the time.

Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Jon

I understand it may seem annoying if we run TScheduler on regular working hours, but the opening and closing of SW has two purposes: to avoid irregular updates of similar files in different folders and to close the process if needed. Check that there is a period of time you can configure to kill SW, if it hangs.

PS: there is always a SWBoengine procees runninh. stop that process
 
careful stopping it with Task Manager, it messed up all my SW settings after I did that. VAR said it is a bug.

Thanks to All,

I took an early lunch and by the time I got back the task was done. I hope that they can improve upon the task scheduler in future releases.
