How to stop an AAU task

To stop an AAU task, you need to disable the AAU task explicitly; unlike Sync Task and Session Task disabling the Task Scheduler does NOT stop any AAU tasks. To resume an AAU task, re-enable it.

Dependency

AAU task has no dependency on any other task, nor can any other non-AAU task have a dependency on it.
