I am getting reminder to do system backup, when I attempt to do just that I receive message: the task image is corrupt or has been tampered with [0x80041321]. I cant backup anything now and am worried. Any help out there?

Win 7 Pro worked great, until I tried Win 10 for 48 hours and reverted to 7. That was back in early August. All sorts of files are corrupt, at least 15, and I see no acknowledgement whatsoever from Microsoft that anything is wrong. Oh, and I cannot do backups to either external hard-drive or DVD.
Thanks.
Great helps for me!
YES! You are absolutely right rpthorn. Big corporation punishing little people like you and me for not liking their latest IDIOCY they called windows 10. They haven't learned the lesson from last century!
And this is the reason: Not enough competition to teach MS a lesson they never forget! and all about capitalism being an economic system of fairness is a load of BS!
Thank you my dear. Your suggested steps 1-4 above worked like a steam engine (not quite so polluting I dare say!)
Have a Good Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
Very Good. Pay heed when everybody says to back up your files when updating in Windows. I updated Windows 7 to Windows 10 and paid the price of losing all of my files. I lost all of my saved files along with years of favorites. I updated to Windows 10 and went back to Windows 7 and had the same problem with the back up issue of the error message however your method worked to get the back up working again. I had no luck of retrieving my lost files after reverting back to Windows7. Back it all up before you push the button. Windows has a lot of issues to be dealt with. Thanks for your advice with the back up problem, worked great.
