CAUSE

=================

This problem has been identified as a bug.

So far this problem is scheduled to be fixed in Win8, there is no solution now available in Win7.

 

Although the problem would occur when we refresh Task Scheduler multiple times, most times it refreshes just fine.

Even if the user gets in this state, a workaround exists to restart Task Scheduler UI.
