Hi, Error message 'the task image is corrupt or has been tampered with' is preventing back-up Not backed up since I tried W10 and went back to W7. So how do I repair the task scheduler in W7?

Follow these steps and check if it helps.

Step 1:

I would first suggest you to check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is running.

a) Click on Start, type Services in Start Search. When the Services page is open, check for Volume Shadow Copy service.
b) Right click on Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) and Check if it is started.
c) If it is stopped select Start or Restart.
Check whether you can try creating the restore points after starting the service


Step 2:

Note: please take a backup of WindowsBackup file and then delete it

a. Open command prompt by clicking Start and typing CMD in the start search box.
b. Right click on CMD and select Run as Administrator.
c. Type
cd %windir%\system32\tasks\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup (WindowsBackup is one word)
d. del AutomaticBackup
e. del "Windows Backup Monitor"
f. Restart the backup again by opening “Backup and restore center” from the “Control Panel”.


Step 3:

Delete the task from the task scheduler

a. Click Start, type Task Scheduler and hit enter.
b. In the left pane, Navigate under Task Scheduler Library->Microsoft->Windows->WindowsBackup folder
c. Delete Automatic Backup task
d. Delete Windows Backup Monitor task
e. Try to Restart the backup again by opening “Backup and restore center” from the Control Panel.

Tried that but no choice to delete 'AutomaticBackup' or 'Windows Backup Monitor'
