I have set up Windows Update (wupdmgr.exe) to run in Scheduled Tasks, but it
will not, and lists this message in Tasks: "The scheduled task did not run
because an incorrect password or user name was entered."

Properties for Update shows "Run as: MYNAMED\myname." This is the same info
as listed for other programs I have in Scheduled Tasks, and they do run on
schedule. I don't recall setting up a password, and don't need one as I'm
the only one using this home PC.

I'd appreciate it if someone could explain why this is occuring, and how I
can correct it. Thanks in advance. Rick
