    Head over to this site.  They deal with the "Access denied" issue:

    http://www.windowsxpregistrycleaner.com/0x80041321-error-win7-system.html

    In case you do not find these tasks in task scheduler, I would suggest you to follow the steps below:

    1. Click on Start; in the start search type cmd.

    2. Right click on cmd.exe and “Run as administrator”

    3.

    cd %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup <br><br>del AutomaticBackup <br><br>del "Windows Backup Monitor"

    4. Restart the backup again by opening “Backup and restore center” from the Control Panel”.

    I tried to do as you suggested, after typing:cd %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup, and enter it said "Access is denied."

    I'd tried this way, but it's not work, for the first 5 steps, could do nothing,

    and when I opened command prompt and type "cd %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup,"  it said "access denied"

    That worked perfectly. I "upgraded" to Windows 10, my scheduled backup failed while I was running 10, when I uninstalled back to 7 Backup wouldn't run, this fixed it. If my experience is common you might get a few people navigating to here!
