Hello,

This is for server version 8.2.4. I have a VisualCron job that runs Powershell script to count the number of pipe delimiters in a file. Up until today, this has worked fine. Today, the Powershell script just runs and runs. I have tried to stop the task, stop the job and it continues to run. I even went so far to try copying the task into a placeholder job, deleted the task, pasted it back, but VisualCron shows the task is still running. I finally tried copying the entire job, deleting the previous job, yet it is still running. Is there any further action I can take to make this task completely stop? If it helps, I noticed other Powershell script I have doing other tasks is just running as well and I cannot stop those tasks either. I have attached this screenshot showing the jobs running. jobrunning.png

Also, I have a backup of VisualCron running on another server, recent I added 1 active job to call a couple of SSIS packages. Running this results in an "Server->Executing Task process exited with exit code: -1073741502" This server is on version 8.1.2 in order to have a fallback if an upgrade to a newer version breaks tasks so I would prefer to not upgrade this server if at all possible. Can you please provide more information on this error? Thanks for your time and any assistance you are able to offer.

1. can you kill the TaskPowerShell.exe process manually?
2. upgrade first to a newer version. Then go to server settings and turn on Extended debugging. After that edit the Credential that you use and change to CreateProcessAsUserW

The main issue ended up being resolved by a scheduled server restart. If this occurs again, I'll try to kill the process. I would rather not upgrade our backup server as upgrades have broken tasks or resulted in unexpected behavior. Is there a list of older versions to download somewhere? I see 4.9.40 on the download page,but none of the others. I would feel more comfortable upgrading if I knew I could downgrade.

You find old versions like this:

Or just keep the old versions you have downloaded in a folder for easy reference.
