Runs the Task synchronously on the current TaskScheduler.

The Task instance has been disposed.
The Task is not in a valid state to be started. It may have already been started, executed, or canceled, or it may have been created in a manner that doesn't support direct scheduling.
Examples
The following example compares a task executed by calling the RunSynchronously method with one executed asynchronously. In both cases, the tasks execute identical lambda expressions that display the task ID and the ID of the thread on which the task is running. The task calculates the sum of the integers between 1 and 1,000,000. As the output from the example shows, the task executed by calling the RunSynchronously method runs on the application thread, while the asynchronous task does not.

Task.CurrentId,

Remarks
Ordinarily, tasks are executed asynchronously on a thread pool thread and do not block the calling thread. Tasks executed by calling the RunSynchronously() method are associated with the current TaskScheduler and are run on the calling thread. If the target scheduler does not support running this task on the calling thread, the task will be scheduled for execution on the scheduler, and the calling thread will block until the task has completed execution. Even though the task runs synchronously, the calling thread should still call Wait to handle any exceptions that the task might throw. For more information on exception handling, see Exception Handling.
Tasks executed by calling the RunSynchronously method are instantiated by calling a Task or Task<TResult> class constructor. The task to be run synchronously must be in the Created state. A task may be started and run only once. Any attempts to schedule a task a second time results in an exception.

Remarks
Tasks executed by calling the RunSynchronously method are instantiated by calling a Task or Task<TResult> class constructor. The task to be run synchronously must be in the Created state. A task may be started and run only once. Any attempts to schedule a task a second time results in an exception.
If the target scheduler does not support running this task on the current thread, the task will be scheduled for execution on the scheduler, and the current thread will block until the task has completed execution. Because of this, the calling thread does not need to call a method such as Wait to ensure that the task has completed execution. For more information on exception handling for task operations, see Exception Handling.
