Why Does System Image Backup of C Drive Fail on Windows 10?

I back up my computer regularly by creating a system image of the C drive. I accomplish this by going to Control Panel - System and Security - Backup and Restore and selecting the 'Create a system image' link. It worked fine until I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro, which stopped working. Do you know why, how can I fix it?
