What's Wrong?

Creating a scheduled task in Cowork always fails with the toast message "Failed to create scheduled task. You can try again." The issue is reproducible 100% of the time on machines where the Windows Documents folder is redirected to a UNC path via Group Policy (Folder Redirection). Colleagues on the same org/tenant whose Documents folder is NOT redirected can create scheduled tasks without any issues.

What Should Happen?

Scheduled task should be created
