Win 7 Pro Backup fails to start
Win 7 Pro Backup fails to start.
From Start Menu [Search programs and files] enter 'backup', select 'Backup and Restore' from Programs, Windows Explorer returns 'Windows Explorer has stopped working', recover fails. Also fails from Control Panel. Back to square one.
This occurs with both Win 7 Pro Pcs on home network with first time Win Backup use.
What's happening?
BTW, Explorer 10, 'Windows Explorer has stopped working', occurs too often! Change to Firefox/Chrome/Safari as default browser?

Windows Explorer returns 'Windows Explorer has stopped working'
MARSPATH clearly states Windows Explorer and not Internet Explorer stopped.
MARSPATH, can you please clarify? In this case, see rindi :)

Borrowed 'Windows 7 Inside Out' from friend: Chapter 11, page 378 says 'Set up backup' in Action Center. I did and it does.
BTW, "In the 'Shadow Copies' tab, make sure they are enabled for all internal volumes."
No Such Tab (or sub-tab) in properties for Drives C-->G (on 2 physical discs). According to above book (p 341), File Properties window has to do with shadow copies - and so it does...
If I could figure out how, I would award myself 500 points.

For the issue you have, scan your PC for malware with malwarebytes and use it to remove what it finds. What could also help us to run a startup repair of your OS's. Uninstall software you don't need, and disable unnecessary startup items using msconfig. Make sure your systems are fully patched. Also make sure you have a good AV utility installed. I use Panda cloud antivirus (the free version as I'm using it privately), and I've been very happy with it.
