Windows 10: Windows Task Scheduler Running Programs at Wrong Time

Hello,My team has been using Task Scheduler for years, but we recently needed to get a new computer for us to use as our remote desktop Windows 11. We created and tested all of our tasks to be set up at their normal scheduled times, but we have been seeing great inconsistencies in when the program is supposed to run, when it states its last run time was, and when our logs say these programs actually ran.In the screenshot below, we are running a task called Central Eligibility. As you can see next to the task name, it is supposed to run at 1:00am every day. However, the 'Next Run Time' shows
