    This does not work because the task scheduler cannot open with error 0x80041321

    Switched from Win 7 home premium to Window 10.  Mistake.  Switched back to Win 7.  Now can't use backup. Keep getting message "The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with (0x80041321).

    How do you "reconfigure file backup"?

    This solved my problem but only through the second option. To explain in Windows 7 in plain language (since some people might not understand what elevated command prompt means).

    1. Dbl click on C drive
    2. Dbl click on Windows folder.
    3. Dbl click on System32 folder
    4. Same on Tasks

    5. Same on Microsoft

    1. Same on Windows.
    2. Same on WindowsBackup
    3. Now you'll see the 2 files (windows backup monitor and re-configure file back up).
    4. Select them both and delete.

    Now go back to automatic back up and set it up. It worked for me. If you do not know where to find that, just put "back up" in the start search box
