Only monitor certain jobs with the Windows Scheduled Task Monitor

Is there a way to monitor specific tasks with the Windows Scheduled Task Monitor? There are certain tasks that I just don't care if they fail, but the monitor looks like an all or nothing type of monitor.

Has anybody found a way to extend this to only pull the task status of the tasks you care about? I would love to stop monitoring the CreateExplorerShellUnelevatedTask

The Windows Scheduled Tasks monitor only looks at the jobs in the root folder. If you create a subfolder and put all the jobs you don't care about in there, the monitor should ignore them.

E.g. Tasks in the root folder

A task in a subfolder

The task monitor doesn't show the "hidden task" job.

I'm with you! If not a way to monitor specific scheduled tasks, at least the ability to ignore things like CreateExplorerShellUnelevatedTask, as you mentioned!
