Description
The Enable-ScheduledTask cmdlet enables a disabled scheduled task.
Examples
Example 1: Enable a scheduled task
PS C:\> Enable-ScheduledTask -TaskName "SystemScan"
TaskPath TaskName State
-------- -------- --------
\ SystemScan Ready
This command enables the SystemScan task in the root folder.
Example 2: Enable all scheduled tasks in a folder
PS C:\> Get-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "\UpdateTasks\" | Enable-ScheduledTask
TaskPath TaskName State
-------- -------- --------
\UpdateTasks\ UpdateApps Ready
\UpdateTasks\ UpdateDrivers Ready
This command uses the Get-ScheduledTask cmdlet to get all scheduled tasks in the *\UpdateTasks* folder. It pipes this information to the Enable-ScheduledTasks cmdlet, which enables these scheduled tasks.

-TaskPath
Specifies an array of one or more paths for scheduled tasks in Task Scheduler namespace. You can use "*" for a wildcard character query. You can use \* for the root folder. To specify a full TaskPath you need to include the leading and trailing \. If you do not specify a path, the cmdlet uses the root folder.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
