Description
The Disable-ScheduledTask cmdlet disables a scheduled task.
Examples
Example 1: Disable a scheduled task
PS C:\> Disable-ScheduledTask -TaskName "SystemScan"
TaskPath TaskName State
-------- -------- --------
\ SystemScan Disabled
This command disables the SystemScan task in the root folder.
Example 2: Disable all scheduled tasks in a folder
PS C:\> Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\UpdateTasks\" | Disable-ScheduledTask
TaskPath TaskName State
-------- -------- --------
\UpdateTasks\ UpdateApps Disabled
\UpdateTasks\ UpdateDrivers Disabled
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.

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
