Task's stop settings are greyed out and cannot be changed. This is by design behaviour:

1. Task stop settings can be changed only for real-time tasks  - Real-Time File Protection and Script Monitoring. These tasks can be configured in KSWS policy to pause the execution at certain time not to interfere with 3d apps or speed up heavy operations. 

2. Task stop settings cannot be changed for Updater and On Demand Scan tasks. These tasks should be executed without pausing them.
