  1. Trying to fix: "Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed" 0x80700A1


    Win 10 Pro x64 1904. I run a System Image Backup via File History every week or so, and did so after installing 1904 last week. Now it's failing. Yesterday before that, I swapped in a new nonsystem backup HDD that had been cloned previously and reestablished some drive letters and rebooted. In running the backup, I'm getting a "Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed" error, with a note to check VSS and SPP events error 0x807800A1. Here's what I've done so far without success:


    - run Macrium Reflect VSS fix tool

    - changed VSS to automatic in Services

    - disconnected the swapped in HDD

    - turned off Windows Defender Firewall and MBAM Premium

    - switched the boot drive from GPT to MBR now back

    What's left? Thanks,


    Here are some screenshots of the error messages and from the first VSS and SPP listings in Event Viewer:

  2. Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered.

    Hi,

    Thank you for getting back with a reply.

    I suggest you to start the Volume shadow copy service and check. Follow these steps:

    a. Click Start and type services.msc in the search box.

    b. Search for the Volume shadow copy service and make sure the start- up type is automatic.

    i. Right click on the service

    ii. If the service is stopped, then Start the service

    iii. Select Properties

    iv. And in the Start-up type select Automatic.

    c. Click Ok.

    Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered.

    I am getting a bunch of errors in the application log related to the Volume Copy Service. I first noticed it when I tried to create a recovery drive and the error simply said that "A problem occurred while creating the recovery drive"

    I examined the application log and noticed that this error occurs periodically, not only when I try to create the drive. I included the four errors below.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    I am using a Surface pro 4, windows 10 with up to the minute patches. I also have installed carbonite but I doubt this is the cause as I did not encounter this problem on previous PCs

    Thanks in advance for any assistance
