Synopsis
I have a scheduled task that runs a program with highest privileges every 4 hours. On Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.81), any update to this task causes it to be triggered as soon as the task is saved. The task is triggered even if the update is to disable the trigger! Disabling the 'run every x hours' clause seems to be the only way to get around this issue. However, saving the same task on Windows 7 (SP1) does not trigger it.
Details
Updating a task logs event #140 (task registration updated) in the task history. At the same instant, event #107 (task triggered on scheduler) is logged and the task starts up:

The 'run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed' option on the Settings tab does not have any effect on this behavior.
Has anyone else come across this issue? Please suggest a reasonable workaround that does not cause the task to be triggered as soon as it is saved.
