Windows 10: Can't Image my C: Drive. "Backup aborted failed to create volume snapshot failed 0x8004230f"

I already did all the support stuff from this thread https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/d...p+aborted!+-+Failed+To+Create+Volume+Snapshot yet it still doesn't work. Anyone had this issue before in Macrium Reflect (Free) and know how to fix it?

Thanks <3

Failed to Create Volume Snapshot Macrium Error 0x8004230f VSS Error

I have a full disk no other partitions on the disk. I mean one partition only.



I restored from a previous backup and found out that my PC was booting from Disk Zero and not the Windows disk, so had to recreated the MBR. Which seems to work now. But still have that VSS problem.

Typical UEFI installation should have these:




MBR - fewer

 

Failed to Create Volume Snapshot Macrium Error 0x8004230f VSS Error

Hi,

So I upgraded my SSD from 250GB to 1TB, I used Clonezilla to clone my disk and I deleted all the extra partitions it had copied over. I assume this is where the restore or backup files were. Windows booted fine and I tried to do a backup with Paragon which failed. I thought to try a different backup software and found Macrium, so I tried with that and got an error message:

Failed: Failed - 0x8004230f - IDispatch error #8463 - Retrying without VSS Writers
ERROR: COM call "m_pVssObject->AddToSnapshotSet((LPWSTR)volume.c_str(), GUID_NULL, &SnapshotID)" failed.
- Returned HRESULT = 0x8004230f
- Error text: VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR
ERROR: COM call "m_pVssObject->BackupComplete(&pAsync)" failed.

- Returned HRESULT = 0x8004230f
- Error text: VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR

I have run the VSS Fix Problems and still no luck.
I have tried the solution here VSS Error: 0x8004231f - Failed to Create Volume Snapshot (Backup, Clone Disk, VSS) but no result. I have set the Volume Copy Shadow in Services to start automatically. Rebooted and it was started.
I have uninstalled Paragon using Revo Uninstaller and still get the same message.
I ran vssadmin list writers and there were no errors.
I ran vssadmin list shadowstorage and it states - No items found for this query.

I tried to check Windows System Restore settings in Configure System Restore and get error message 0X81000203 with everything greyed out. I cannot select anything in System Protection. I cannot create a system restore point.





I assume when I deleted those other hidden partitions, something went wrong. I recreated a separate partition for the restore part of Windows but not sure if that will work for the restore to fix.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this problem? I just don't want to reboot into Hiren's Boot Recovery to do backups every time. I have been working on this problem for two weeks now. I assume something happened with my new SSD that has caused the problem and the fact I delete those extra hidden partitions which more than likely had the restore or system recovery on them. OS I am using is Windows 10 Education I got from uni.
