System backup error [0x80041321]

Hi John

Got as far as Tasks but found 10 different task*** folders one of which is taskkill, some of which I can't open even when I 'run as administrator'

Thanks David, but a bit too technical for me, as I'm not too sure where to start or how to 're-configure'

2. cd %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup
3. del AutomaticBackup
4. del "Windows Backup Monitor"
5. Try to re-configure file backup

This absolutely worked for me after windows 10 fiasco and return to win7

thank you!

After restoring Windows 7 I got the error message also. I tried your advice and got another error message for the Task Scheduler.

So I tried another way suggested and combined both recommendations.

Thought I’d pass it along in case it can help someone else.

Here’s what worked for me.

Go to Computer

Access OS (C:)

Click on Windows

Open System 32

Click on Tasks

Open Microsoft

Click Windows

Open WindowsBackup folder.****Delete Automatic Backup

Delete Windows Backup Monitor task.

Go back to the Control Panel

Click on Back up your computer.

At this point my computer opened up the Backup and Restore and let me create a new backup.

No error messages to be seen.

Hope this is helpful to someone.

Followed the steps as written, and it worked out great.  No more error message. thank you!

No good for me wouldn't let me open Task Scheduler
