Windows 8.1 has the same Task but it doesn't run as it can be disabled in the settings whereas Windows 10 doesn't let you disable to many what they call Security Features. If you go into Services it's labelled as Time Broker. I have mine disabled and the system still runs with no glitches. I would say it's safe to run without it.
Here is a small app that will give you Control over some of the things.
This app will disable some features that Microsoft doesn't want disabled. http://www.filehorse.com/download-shutup10/
