Examples
Example 1: Disable a scheduled task
This command disables the SystemScan task in the root folder.
PS C:\> Disable-ScheduledTask -TaskName "SystemScan"
Example 2: Disable all scheduled tasks in a folder
This command uses the Get-Scheduledtask cmdlet to get all scheduled tasks in the \UpdateTasks\ folder. The command pipes this information to the Disable-ScheduledTasks cmdlet, which disables these scheduled tasks.
PS C:\> Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\UpdateTasks\" | Disable-ScheduledTask
