Windows 10: Can't stop Windows Backup pop-up messages

I posted this question a couple hours ago and just got an email from Microsoft that a "moderator" had deleted it, and without any explanation whatsoever except the standard "code of conduct" or "already answered." I read the code of conduct and in no way did my question violate it. I also searched for answers and found the same question asked a dozen times without an answer. So I'm going to ask it again and respectfully request that if a "moderator" deletes it, please have the courtesy to tell me why.I keep getting "Lets Backup Your PC Now" messages every time I turn on my laptop. I've turned

5 views Backup Issue - Microsoft 10 - Cannot perform initial backup




My backup stubbornly refuses to run. I can't run the initial backup, therefore the file history backups don't run either. This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. Suggestions I've received have not worked so far. Following is the problem
and the failed resolution attempts:

• I get this message from the Event Log:

Unable to scan user libraries for changes and perform backup of modified files for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

Event ID - 201

Level: Error

User - System

*** ---- There is no config file at this directory location. The contents of the location are:

catalog1

catalog2

config1

config2

• In another thread from July, someone suggested checking a particular service (I forget the name just now) is running. It is.

• Two days ago a Microsoft employee suggested the following steps. These steps resulted in no change, still no backup:

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps to start and stop the services “Windows backup” and “volume shadow copy” and check if it helps.

• Press “Windows+R” and in the run command box type “services. MSc”.
• Search for the service “Windows Backup” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not, click on “OK” button. I suggest you to stop and start the service again.
• Once done again search for the service “Volume shadow copy” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not. I suggest you to stop and start the service again, click on “OK” button and
  check whether you can perform backup successfully.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

• I performed these steps multiple times. The backup still crashes, with the same error message. In addition I collected the following error message, but only one time:

Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

Event ID: 200

• Can anyone help me with this stubborn problem?

Thank you in advance.

After 8+ hours , it stops and gives the "out of space" message. It is just a file without a name but just sitting in the location of where the backed up file should be.
I just tried a backup of a hard drive with 740GB which Acronis times to be finished in just over 4-hours. It due that backup, just stopped during the process.
A suggestion was given that I do a chkdsk /f on my SSD, but ihas been so long that I did that, I looked for a step-by step and could not find it on the web Could you direct me to a location or tell me how to do it?
