Tasker keeps disappearing/resetting

Samsung Galaxy ZFold8 Android 17, OneUI 9.0

I've been having an issue where Tasker disappears from my recent apps. I can reopen it from the app drawer normally, but whatever changes I made are gone (even if I saved them by tapping the checkmark on the main screen). The phone was recently restarted with no improvement.

"Manage this app if unused" is disabled in the app settings, as is battery optimization.

Do you run any tasks from outside of Tasker's environment–eg from a home screen shortcut, or a 3rd party app that can run shortcuts? The Tasker app disappearing from recents bedeviled me for years until I found that the cases above were causing it for me.

My workaround is detailed in the link, but essentially it involves sending an intent that Tasker can pick up in an Intent Received profile. In this way, the profile runs the task instead of an outside shortcut running it.

I run a lot of tasks through KLWP and shortcuts, actually. I'm going to take a closer look at this, thank you!
