Windows 10: Disabling shadow copies before defragmentation

Disable shadow copies: I use a french version of Windows 10, How do I locate the shadow copies service / how is this service called in french ? I must disable it before defragmenting with O&O Defrag. Does it start again automatically after reboot ? Or do I have to re-enable it on the services-page ?

About deletion of Shadow Copy or System Restore in Windows 10

Hello,

Today I did a Disk Defragment on C: Drive in Windows 10. Before Defragmentation, I had 151GB/200GB, but after defragmentation now I have 147GB/200GB.

I searched on the internet and found that there might be some shadows copies done. Now according to a post in Microsoft Support, I was able to see that almost 3.57 GB is consumed by system restore. My question are :

1. Are System Restore and Shadow Copy same? Because both of them are consuming the same amount of space.
2. If I delete a system restore point at this point (Currently, I only have the latest restore point after Defragmentation), will it create any other problems?
3. Lastly, Are Shadow copies or the Windows Restore points automatically deleted?

Thanks in advance.

 

Windows Defender incorrectly reports threat in Volume Shadow Copy

I think you misread my question.

I did what you suggest immediately after I first downloaded the file.

The problem is NOT that the file itself gets flagged -- it does not as it is in the exclusions list.

The problem is that the exclusions list applies to the absolute path to the file.

What Windows Defender is complaining about is the COPY of the file that is present in the Volume Shadow Copy, NOT the original file.

There appears to be no way to tell Windows Defender to ignore the COPY of the file in the Volume Shadow Copy. Then, every time my backup program (Retrospect) runs, Windows Defender detects the file IN THE VOLUME SHADOW COPY and complains.

 

Volume Shadow Copy Service Failure Check "VSS" & "SPP" application event logs for more information (W-10)

Took following corrective steps:

1. Disabled Antivirus and Firewall

2. Turned "Volume Shadow Copy tgo "Automatic"

3. Checked for "Hard Drive Errors"

The above procedures did not resolve the problem

suggestions welcome
