    "The shadow copy provider had an error 0x80042306"


    After trying to create a system restore point, I got the error message in the title. I have tried all of the solutions I have read about using VSSadmin and SFC, and set VSS to start automatically, delayed. These do not fix the problem.


    I believe the problem is rooted in that my C: drive was restored from an Acronis True Image backup and I don't know how to correct it. That software is not installed on the problem machine, but was used as a bootable version on a disk to restore the backed up partition. Could someone help me resolve the conflict so I can create restoration points and Create a Recovery Drive also from within Windows 10 Pro?

    :)

    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

    Windows 10: The shadow copy provider had an error 0x80042306

    I have recently upgraded my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Now I cannot make a restore point and it says "The shadow copy provider had an error". Some posts suggest do chkdsk. But when I run chkdsk /scan it also shows "The shadow copy provider had an error".
    My Volume Shadow Copy service is on. I tried SFC /SCANNOW, but it says it cannot repair the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
