can you clarify what you mean by stop? Does this mean disable the scheduled items or deleting them from scheduler? – Conrad Frix Jun 24 '11 at 17:04

The simple answer is to stop the "Task Scheduler" service.

Take care: the Task Schedular service powers some important tasks, see http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/07/15/why-you-shouldn-t-disable-the-task-scheduler-service-in-windows-7-and-windows-8.aspx – Johan van der Slikke Jan 21 '16 at 09:46

The link looks like its been changed. I think this is what Johan was previously linking: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askpfeplat/2013/07/14/why-you-shouldnt-disable-the-task-scheduler-service-in-windows-7-and-windows-8/ – Cadab Sep 06 '16 at 10:55

@JohanvanderSlikke - Out of the box, what are you saying is running with task scheduler by default ? – Tom Stickel Apr 20 '17 at 21:24

With shift-click you can select multiple items, then with right mouse click you can disable all selected items at once
