    Shadow Copy Error 0x80042306 and Not Able to Create Restore Point


    I installed the new Win 10 Update [took all afternoon and right up t0 2130 at night]. It went O.K.; I had only to retrieve icons for some folders, but I found I could not create a Restore Point for the above reason. I looked at the Event Log (!), I searched for answers online. There is so much conflicting or unrelated info. like get rid of Apple Drivers. Any up-to-date Help, please?

    :)

    Dear Mr. Ado,

    I am neither part of the first group (programmers and developers) nor of the second (IT professionals). I am a simple end user.

    Apparently, there are multiple end users having the same issues I have (Results for all categories - Microsoft Community).

    One of many examples: AlexCavicchioli

    I think it is a bug......its driving me bat....tried everything to solve it but to no avail.........I was very happy with win10.........great upgrade...all was good
    till the backup issue including image creation and restore points.....so as long as everything

    works I am ok....but if I have to restore I am dammed.......feels like Russian roulette..... lets hope Microsoft fixes it fast.........:-(

    So it’s not me or my computer. Please help me fix it.

    Kind regards

    Gerd

    Shadow Copy Error 0x80042306 and Not Able to Create Restore Point

    unable to create system restore point

    Dear Santosh Kumar Rai,

    I have not been able to create a restore point, either manually or automatically, since I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 last year.

    I have followed your instructions several times and am receiving the following error message:

    "System Protection

    The restore point could not be created for the following reason:

    The shadow copy provider had an error. Check the System and Application event logs for more information. (0x80042306).

    Please try again."

    I went to the System and Application event log but have no idea what to do with the "more information" found there.

    Please help.
