SYMPTOMS

Only members of the Administrators group or users who have administrative rights can schedule a task to run under another user's account. However, a non-administrator user can schedule a task that runs under another user's account by using Task Scheduler if this is the first time that the task is created. In this case, the task that is created unexpectedly runs without any problem.
