To stop a scheduled task that is currently running

Open the Task Scheduler window by double-clicking My Computer and then double-clicking the Scheduled Tasks folder.
Right-click the task that you want to stop, and then click End Task.

Tips

If a scheduled task starts another program, this command stops only the original scheduled task, not the second task.
To restart a task, right-click the task, and then click Run.
