    I had the same problem and I think I've fixed it. At least on my computer, the task image seemed completely fine. I just had to trick Windows into recognizing it again. Here's what I did:
    1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack and copy BackgroundConfigSurveyor to a backup location.
    2. Open regedit, find HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack, right click it and export it to a backup location. Do the same for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Plain. If something goes wrong, you can import these files to undo your changes.
    3. Go back to the ...\PerfTrack registry key and look at the BackgroundConfigSurveyor key inside it. It should contain a string called Id. The value for Id should be a big hexadecimal number inside curly braces. Find the key with the same name as this value inside ...\TaskCache\Plain and delete it.
    4. Delete the BackgroundConfigSurveyor key inside ...\PerfTrack
    5. Open Task Scheduler and the error should be gone.


    Now, to rebuild the task:
    1. Inside Task Scheduler, navigate to Task Scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack. There should be no tasks in the center pane.
    2. Right click the empty space in the center pane and choose Import Task...
    3. In the Open dialog, change XML files (*.xml) in the bottom right to All files (*.*)
    4. Find and import the BackgroundConfigSurveyor file you backed up at the beginning.
    5. A properties window should come up. Click OK.


    If that doesn't work and you have another Windows 7 installation, try copying the uncorrupted BackgroundConfigSurveyor file from it.

    Just want to say, "THANKS" it worked perfectly. The only thing I did'n have to do is delete the ID number.

    Hi, I have just attempted to fix the problem as in post#1
    The repair install failed to start as my system was newer i.e. SP1 installed.
    What I did, was some of the suggestions by 'Idolon':-
    1 copy:- C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack and copy BackgroundConfigSurveyor to a thumb drive, from my desktop pc.
    2 delete all entrys in 'Task Schedule Library' and BackgroundConfigSurveyor file on my laptop, import the copied file as above & it worked.
    Both pc's are Win7 H Prem 32bit
    Many Thanks to all.
