    At least ten people have asked you how to  to re-configure the file backup. Doesn't anyone at Microsoft have an answer?

    How many more times do you have to be asked?

    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!

    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"

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