If you want to export only the scheduled tasks that are disabled, run the command below.

Get-ScheduledTask | where state -eq 'Disabled' | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-File "$Env:userprofile\Downloads\DisabledWindowsSchduledTasks.txt"

Export Only Enabled Scheduled Tasks

If you only need to see or save your active scheduled tasks in Windows 11, you can use a simple command to get just the ones that are ready to run. This helps you focus on your current jobs without seeing any disabled ones.

That should do it!
