Windows 10: Virtual Disk Service will not start

This began with my not being able to access my thumb drives because File Explorer Quick Access would never complete. The first few times I could still open my thumbs drives on another computer, but now I can't, so I think whatever this problem is, it is messing up any connected thumb drive.


I tried to go into Storage Management, but Virtual Disk Service will never start/connect. I don't know what to try next.

Virtual disk service wont start

Worked the first time i tried it then after closing the application and trying to start again the disk service would not start anymore.

 

Virtual Disk service is unavailable (0x8078009C).

Attempted a System Image backup on newly migrated
Windows 10 laptop. I received the following error: Virtual Disk service is unavailable (0x8078009C). I can start the service, however, I receive the same error message. Also, when I select Disk Management under the Computer Management
window I receive the following: Unable to connect to Virtual Disk Service. Suggestions kindly appreciated... thank you.
