Windows Task Scheduler trigger edit ignored
I have a task that has been running for years at 5:45 AM. Recently we decided that running at 1:30 AM and repeating hourly for 12 hours is a better solution, so we made that change. However, the following morning, the task was triggered at 5:45 AM anyway. The change to the trigger seemed to have no effect, except that the task DID repeat once about an hour later.
This seems like a basic bug to me. How is it possible that the trigger is fully ignored and the previous trigger is observed? It has been running this way for 3 days now.

Hi, what does the Task Scheduler log days? Can you copy it? Also, did you update the user password?

Updated. The manager has everything under his profile, he had to re-enter his credentials to make the change. He did not update his password this time, but we have to do so periodically as part of internal security protocol.

I ran manually a couple of times, so I marked those in green as I don't want to confuse the issue.
