Windows 10: A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error

Tried to create a Restore Point today and received the following error:

"The Restore Point Could Not be Created for the following reason:

A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error. Check the application event log for more information. (0x80042302).

Volume Shadow Copy and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider services are set to "Automatic" and are both running.

Are there any other services that the System Restore is dependent upon?

Can link EventLogs for further information if needed.

:)

 

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered.

I am getting a bunch of errors in the application log related to the Volume Copy Service. I first noticed it when I tried to create a recovery drive and the error simply said that "A problem occurred while creating the recovery drive"

I examined the application log and noticed that this error occurs periodically, not only when I try to create the drive. I included the four errors below.

What do I need to do to fix this?

I am using a Surface pro 4, windows 10 with up to the minute patches. I also have installed carbonite but I doubt this is the cause as I did not encounter this problem on previous PCs

Thanks in advance for any assistance
