    May not be related but there were issues with scheduled backups on AU and a new version has been released. Are you on latest version?

  2. I have done that a few times, which has not done any good.

  3. Don't know what AU is in this context, but Macrium is up-to-date.

    Are you running a volatile Ramdisk? I am running one with Softperfect, 2gb, for my browser caches. I was getting some VSS errors. To fix it with Softperfect, you just need to modify the Ramdisk settings to "Mount as removable". The errors also don't occur if you're imaging the Ramdisk to a drive - it only affects volatile ramdisks that aren't set to mount as removable. It actually DID affect any ramdisk created by older versions of Softperfect, they eventually fixed it, so if you're using some other brand of ramdisk, they may not have fixed it yet.

    At any rate, the exact error code DOES appear to be related to insufficient disk space per that knowledge base link, so I'd look at everything else that's getting a drive letter on your system. Maybe you have a USB stick plugged in, or an external hard drive? Take any CD out of your optical drive too. Just because you're not telling it to back those other drive letters up doesn't mean it won't generate errors due to them.

  5. smric:

    From your last contribution:

    "AU = Anniversary Update (v1607)

    "See post #2 here; Kyhi's Image Health tool.
    Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

    "What version Windows are you running? 1511 or 1607?
    Perhaps, if the above doesn't do anything, we could try a repair install with an in-place upgrade.
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    "But you need to use the same version ISO as what you're running on the system, and the latest ISOs from MS will be v1607.

    "EDIT: You're quite sure the system is virus-free? Because they will prevent System Restore from working."

    ==

    Ah, I though that perhaps "AU" was aluminum, or Astronomical Units....

    Windows 10 Home, 64-bit, Version 1607

    I will delve into the two possible solutions you provided. Incidentally, yesterday's two updates installed without any problem, which I was not certain would happen due to the Restore Point corruption.

    As far as I know, yes, my system is virus free; when you asked, I ran a deep scan with Avast! Free, which did not find anything.

  6. No Ramdisk. There is more than enough disk space,as delineated in one of my previous replies. No USB stick. The external hard disk has been installed and in use since day one of this computer, last February; with it unplugged, Restore Point continues to not work. No CD nor DVD in optical drive. Assigned drive letters are just as they have been, without causing any problem until a few days ago.

    It is, to me, rather evident that it is the Restore Point problem that is the root cause keeping Macrium Reflect to fail.

    *Roflmao2 Yeah sorry - we tend to use acronyms and we really shouldn't. People we're helping, as well as people who read the threads later, are not served well by our use of acronyms. Sorry about that.

    Okay good. That will be the version downloading from MS now.

    Doesn't surprise me. MS don't turn on System Restore by default like they did in previous operating systems - in W10 they turn it off by default. Those were KB3176936 and KB3176934, right?

    I still don't understand why turning off the VSS requirements in Macrium didn't allow it to work - it should have.

    Did this all start after you took the v1607 Anniversary update? and was Avast installed and running on the system during the update?

    It really shouldn't be. *Confused

    Do me a favor and run these, in this order:

    RKILL

    ADWCleaner

    JRT

    Post the logs here in a code box (use # in the toolbar) for me to eval. Thanks.

    Good point. I found after Anniversary Update that trying to return to an earlier a Restore Point produced "Failed due to a missing file. No change made" (or something like that). With help from elsewhere it was found that my Kaspersky internet Security 2016 was the culprit. I have uninstalled it (using Windows Uninstall) and the problem has gone. Perhaps it interferes in your problem.

    Yeah, I'm finding that it's best to remove 3rd-party AV and just use Defender when doing these major updates. PITA, but better than all the problems they cause sometimes.

  10. I don't know.

    I think that I know, and it relates to your comment that you don't think that my assertion about Restore Point being the problem underlying the Macrium failures. I don't recall the precise steps that led me to that conclusion, but it started with my looking at the Macrium help file and following the entry about a specific error code that appears in my Macrium logs. In pursuing that trail, I found a specific entry somewhere that, as I recall, VSS errors can arise if, for example, you have too many Restore Points. I don't, of course, know why that should be, only that the information was presented.

    My next step was to go to Restore Point, to see how many I might have, and to delete at least some of them, which is when I quickly discovered that RP (that is an abbreviation for something or another...) is corrupt. As to when this arose, I can judge from the information in Total Uninstall: When you install or update a program from within TU (yes, another...), the first thing that it does is to create a Restore Point; I have entries for 20/21/23 August, 2016.



    No, as stated just above, RP was working until a few days ago, which was well after I installed AU. Yes, RP was running during the update; I leave it on so that I can use Total Install without having to re-enable RP each time.

    Maybe something went awry with that KB3176936 install.

    Please check to see if it was installed, and when and if it was successful.

    Settings>Update & security>Windows Update>Update History

    Then maybe try uninstalling it and rebooting a few times (making sure Fast Startup is OFF first).

    Macrium Reflect Backup Failures (problema resolutum est)

    I know you don't have any restore points, but you do have a verified image from a few days ago, right?

    Okay so I once had a bad reparse point on a system, a few years ago, and remember I manually found it and removed it.

    Do me a favor and try this:

    Using Agent Ransack, search C:\ for the first one: cmitrust.dll
    My system found four, one of which is the one listed in your RKILL log.

    Hover your mouse over that one and right-click, selecting Properties.

    Now put your mouse cursor into the Location, and use the right arrow on the keyboard to go through the entire path. Stop when it gets to the end ("...d239dd") and see if there is anything further.

    Is there anything past where it should end? I can't recall what the reparse point looked like in my system.


    If there is something further in the Location, that is the reparse information. Seems to me, I recall removing that remaining information and it got rid of the reparse point. Since you have an image from a few days ago to fall back on, you could try this. (EDIT: I am not sure that this is the correct method, but it seemed to work for my system.)

    The other option I can suggest is Tweaking.com. I read from the developer in 2015 he intended to put a "reparse fix" in his tool.
    Now, a word of warning: if you use this tool, ONLY use the reparse portion of it - nothing else. People have totally borked their systems doing everything at once. If you would feel more comfortable, start a thread at Bleeping Computer, post your RKILL log, and ask for assistance using the tool. Like I said, I have not used it, and so can offer no guidance, but their people are trained on everything they offer for downloads, so someone there will be able to guide you through it. If you decide to go this route, please post the link here to your thread, so we can watch it.

    Here's a little reading on reparse links - I am just looking at this for the first time myself:
    How to list, create, remove a reparse point (symlink)? | Jacques DALBERAs IT world

    The "E:\Windows\winsxs" is the pointer.

    FindLinks
    v1.1 (July 4, 2016)
    FindLinks reports the file index and any hard links (alternate file paths on the same volume) that exist for the specified file. A file's data remains allocated so long as at it has at least one file name referencing it.

  15. Yes, I do have KB3176936, but it was only installed yesterday, which was a few days after I first encountered the Macrium problem (and if my theory is correct, that was when the Restore Point problem began.)

    Ought I remove KB3176936 anyway, or might that be futile?
