Ever since I upgraded my Win10 to ver. 1703 [original Creators' Update], I started having a problem that was never a problem before. I have certain tasks set to run every 2 weeks (i.e., every 14 days). So, the same calendar day ... every other week. What started happening with ver. 1703 is that the "every 2 weeks" parameter gets ignored and the system executes the task every week. Here, a couple examples: two tasks, having run on 10/08, were not supposed to run again until 10/22 ... but they got run on the next Sunday (10/15) anyway....

Well, since then, I upgraded again, to the Fall Creators' Update (ver. 1709). But we have the same problem. Again, a task that wasn't supposed to run until next Sunday was run last Sunday morning. (The reason it failed was because the full system backup task was already running.)

I definitely suspect this is a bug (and reported it as such through the Feedback app; no response from there yet). Thoughts, anyone?
