Make sure the Task Scheduler service is set to logon with the Local System
Account and Allow Service to Interact with Desktop

The task scheduler service is running under the system account and the box is
checked.

The accounts database may be corrupt. Try deleting all tasks then after
restart add them back in.

I have a new machine install, and i setup a new task.
when i ran it, it failed with the same error.
then i deleted it, and added the same job/task back
immediately after, and it worked fine

so perhaps there is some initial setup
which needs to happen on the database first
