Note: This method doesn't work on Windows 10 / Server 2016 and higher.

Issue

Non-admin users cannot run (or even see) scheduled tasks created by users with admin rights.

Resolution

Scheduled tasks are saved in C:\Windows\System32\Tasks folder as xml files (with no extension). To allow non-admin users to view and run a task, find the task(s) in question and change permissions to allow Read and execute for your chosen user or group (as you would for any other file or directory).
