    A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error


    If this just started happening, and because of the part of the error I highlighted, you may have have a damaged system component. Suggest you run sfc /scannow to see if it finds any damaged components and can fix them, then reboot and try again.

    A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error


    Tried to create a Restore Point today and received the following error:

    "The Restore Point Could Not be Created for the following reason:

    A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error. Check the application event log for more information. (0x80042302).


    Volume Shadow Copy
    and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider services are set to "Automatic" and are both running.

    Are there any other services that the System Restore is dependent upon?

    Can link EventLogs for further information if needed.
