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:
- Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack and copy BackgroundConfigSurveyor to a backup location.
- 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.
- 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.
- Delete the BackgroundConfigSurveyor key inside ...\PerfTrack
- Open Task Scheduler and the error should be gone.
Now, to rebuild the task:
- Inside Task Scheduler, navigate to Task Scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\PerfTrack. There should be no tasks in the center pane.
- Right click the empty space in the center pane and choose Import Task...
- In the Open dialog, change XML files (*.xml) in the bottom right to All files (*.*)
- Find and import the BackgroundConfigSurveyor file you backed up at the beginning.
- 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.
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.
I had this problem and the instruction by Idolon worked. Thanks...
I have the same problem only with a task called 'autokmsdaily' and I have no idea what that is.
Does someone has a copy of the uncorrupted BackgroundConfigSurveyor file? Thanks.
