Windows 10: Event 16384 Windows is Scheduling a restart of the Software Protection service multiple...

Event 16384, Security-SSP Successfully scheduled Software Protection service for re-start at 2121-02-23. Reason: RulesEngine.

Notice that the date is 100 years in the future

It is often accompanied by event 16394: Offline downlevel migration succeeded.

This happens a few times every hour, and seems to coincide with full screen games being minimized. (Fallout 4 in full screen) gets minimized by this, and I have to alt-tab back into it.

In the Task Scheduler it says that it's only meant to restart once daily.
Maybe because it's set to restart in 100 years, it never does and therefore keeps re-attempting?

Error: "Failed to schedule Software Protection service", Error Code: 0x80070005 on Windows 10

Hi,

As you are facing issues with the Windows Service errors, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

The issue may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

• The Task Scheduler service is disabled.
• The Software Protection Platform service is not running under the NETWORK SERVICE account.
• Read permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account are missing on the following folder:
  C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
  

Let us try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to verify that the Task Scheduler service is running. .

• Press Windows + R keys, type services.msc and press enter.
• Locate the Task Scheduler service.
• Open the Task Scheduler service and click on “Start” button.
• Set the Startup type to “Automatic”.
• Click OK.

Method 2: After verifying the service try the below.

• Open the Computer Management tool, and then navigate to
  Configuration -> Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library ->
  Microsoft -> Windows -> SoftwareProtectionPlatform.
• On the General tab of SoftwareProtectionPlatform, select the security options, and then verify that the Software Protection Platform service is set to use the NETWORK SERVICE account.
• In Windows Explorer, browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform folder, and then verify that the NETWORK SERVICE account has Read permissions for that folder.
• Restart the Software Protection service if it is running.

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updates status of the error messages for further assistance.

Thank you.

Error: "Failed to schedule Software Protection service", Error Code: 0x80070005 on Windows 10

Since the June 14 Windows 10 update I have a "Security-SPP" error in my Event Viewer log every 30 seconds without stop. This is the msg: "Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start at 2116-06-30T14:18:33Z. Error Code: 0x80070005." the
alleged scheduled re-start time 100 years from now is slightly different each time, but the rest of the message is the same.

Possibly related to this is the fact that the Task Scheduler desktop app always opens with the message "Task scheduler service is not available. Task scheduler will attempt to reconnect to it." clicking the OK button on this window produces another version
of the same thing. However, using the services app it is clear that the Task scheduler service is running; so is the Software Protection service. The Task Scheduler app must be killed with Task Manager; there is no other way to get it to respond.

I have tried most of the suggestions I have found online (e.g., scannow) except for reinstalling Windows. Nothing really makes a difference.

Other than the June 14 Windows 10 update I did not install any new software at that time.

any suggestions?
