This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
This script performed under Windows 7 Pro perfect for years.
Group Policy etc. is modified to run the script on shutdown (see script).
Now I changed to Windows 10 Pro (new hardware) and got into one Problem.
Running the script with adminrights while logged in works fine.
Running the script on shutdown the script starts well but when it comes to ...
The lines where the task scheduler is modified result with success ("C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe … "Microsoft\Windows\WindowsBackup\AutomaticBackup"").
But the backup seems to be not started and the processes VSSVC.exe and wbadmin.exe are not active.
After starting Windows again there is no message that the backup was interrupted.
Is there someone having any ideas?

Greg, please stop giving answers to not raised Questions. Thanks.
Any advice to my Question in the first post are higly welcome.
I've helped over 100,000 customers over ten years daily in forums and no more than 10 have ever complained when I gave them extra advice based on helping more people if tech forums than anyone else.
As I said I've helped countless others attempt to recover files lost by Windows backup programs so would be remiss not to warn others about it, and will continue to do so.
Have a nice day.
Markus, be aware File History, Windows file and Image backup in Windows 10 are dysfunctional and may be phased out in a future version. They're not the best choices anyway because after ten years in forums I've seen countless times that files are lost trying to restore them, so feel obligated to recommend choices that work better and are more reliable.
The safest and most reliable backup method is to sort your files into their User Folders (Documents, Desktop, Pictures, Downloads, etc) and periodically drag or copy them to external or another hard drive. See tips for copying large groups of files here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2086566/the-man...
Then have one other Cloud backup so your files are safe from fire and theft and easily accessible via the internet just like email. Some suggestions to help ease into this habit:
You can drag or copy 5gb for free into OneDrive app to store in the cloud where they are safe from fire and theft. You can also choose to sync the Desktop, Pictures and Documents folders (only) in OneDrive app Settings > Backup for real time backup. More here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/116029-turn...
If you install Google Drive, you can use their new Backup to choose ANY User folders (Documents, Pictures, etc.) to sync up to 15g for free to their cloud in real time. You can also drag/copy selected files into Drive folder. More here:
https://www.blog.google/products/photos/introdu...
Besides your files you should back up a System Image to use in place of reinstall in 20 minutes. The best free alternative is Macrium: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7363/macrium-ref....
There is an easy way to mount the System Image to extract files if needed. Some prefer to move their User folders off of C to make the image smaller and so they stay current if you need to re-image C. Here's how: http://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-syst...
This way if Windows ever becomes irreparable you can restore C in 20 minutes from recovery media, and your files will be current and safe in their own separate partition. If they are left on C they will be dated from when the image was taken.
I hope this helps.

Hi Greg, thanks for the link.
I don't want to use robocopy but use Windows backup because of System files etc.
Hi Markus. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.
There's a good working script for running backup in Windows 10 at shutdown here:

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I solved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
