Same problem here! The task is not visible in the task schedule but there is an entry under C:\Windows\System32\Tasks!

I got a second similar error with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager Task which is also located in C:\Windows\System32\Tasks. deletion of the task files has no effect to the message.

Hi diwie,

Download Autoruns and run it.

Click the "Scheduled Tasks" tab.

See if "CreateChoicesProcessTask" is listed there. If so, right-click the entry and choose Delete.

diwie,

Open a Command Prompt window, and type:

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\CreateChoicesProcessTask" /s

Copy the output and include in your reply.
