Run Scheduled Task with C#

Question

I've created a simple task. It is launched at the log on of every user. I'd also like to launch it right away after creation -> do what "Run" in Task Scheduler GUI does. I know that I can start a new process, and execute action target that way.. Can it also be done just using the TaskService object? This is sample code:

   using (TaskService ts = new TaskService()) {
        // Create a new task definition and assign properties
        TaskDefinition td = ts.NewTask();
        td.RegistrationInfo.Author = "Me";

        td.Principal.RunLevel = TaskRunLevel.Highest;

        td.RegistrationInfo.Description = "Starts Updater";
        td.Settings.DisallowStartIfOnBatteries = false;
        td.Settings.Enabled = true;
        td.Settings.ExecutionTimeLimit = TimeSpan.Zero;
        td.Settings.Hidden = false;
        td.Settings.IdleSettings.RestartOnIdle = false;
        td.Settings.IdleSettings.StopOnIdleEnd = false;
        td.Settings.Priority = System.Diagnostics.ProcessPriorityClass.High;
        td.Settings.RunOnlyIfIdle = false;
        td.Settings.RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable = false;
        td.Settings.StopIfGoingOnBatteries = false;


        // Create a trigger that will fire the task at this time every other day
        td.Triggers.Add(new LogonTrigger());

        var fileName = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath("path_updater.exe");
        // Create an action that will launch Notepad whenever the trigger fires
        td.Actions.Add(new ExecAction(fileName, null, null));

        // Register the task in the root folder
        ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(@"Updater", td);

    }

Just as you would right click a created Task and click Run on TaskScheduler GUI

You can use Task.Run() after the task has been registered like this

.
.
ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition(@"Updater", td);
var runCreatedTask = ts.FindTask("Updater").Run(); //Runs the registered task immediately
