    Frustrated beyond belief with Microsoft


    Essentially I've been locked out of my microsoft account for "suspicious activity" over the weekend. I have filled out the account Recovery forms 6 or more times by now, because for some stupid reason you can only fill out two a day for 'safety purposes' I've been filling in all the relevant information needed, answering ALL the questions and yet still it "isn't enough information" to prove it's me, even though I'm listing things nobody else could possibly know. I finally called Microsoft support after being redirected to the internet about 1,000 times because apparently nobody wants to do the

    Macrium VSS Windows 10 and frustrated beyond belief

    Sorry to hear you are experiencing such difficulty. I've never heard of any prevalent issue of this sort affecting many- if that were the case I'd have thought they'd have been out of business.

    You say there's no MR tutorial or fix, but they do offer a VSS repair option on MR's GUI. I found these:

    Frustrated beyond belief with Microsoft 284601d1592820415t-macrium-vss-windows-10-frustrated-beyond-belief-1.png


    There is the MR boot disk- that is not dependent on services running.

    I can't suggest anything more for your particular problem, sorry.

    For your error number 0x8004230f a search for
    macrium reflect repair vss 0x8004230f
    gives (just for starters):
    VSS Error: 0x8004230F
    VSS Error: 0x8004230F - KnowledgeBase v7 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase - KnowledgeBase v7 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase
    vss error 0x8004230f
    0x01 Error | Backup aborted! - Failed to Create Volume Snapshot. Failed - 0x8004230f - IDispatch error #8463

    Microsoft Frustrations, HELP!

    I have 2 things I need help with: 1. How do I get fast startup options back? I have hibernate enabled as you can see below but the option is gone. I even tried running the CMD option powercfg /hibernate on just for the heck of it but no dice. I suspect the change/dictate occurred with problem number 2 below, showed up.
