    I'm trying to run Windows Backup (Win7 Home Premium, 64-bit) for the first time but I'm prevented from doing so by the popup of this error message:

    "Windows Backup
    The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with. (0x80041321) "

    I ran sfc /scannow from an elevated prompt and was told that everything is fine with my system.

    I Googled this error message and was directed to the Windows Task Scheduler, where I get the following error messages, one after the other:

    Task
    User_Feed_Synchronization-{9D66D6F9-C99D-44A4-B4FD-08F3FC89396F}: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Task
    WinSAT: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Task
    DispatchRecoveryTasks: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Task
    ValidationTaskDeadline: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Task
    ValidationTask: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Task
    AutomaticBackup: The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.

    Before I go blindly around deleting tasks, can someone please help fix this problem, so I don't mess up my system, and allow me to run Windows Backup? Thank you.
