Error 0x81000019 "Shadow copy could not be created. Please check VSS and SPP application event logs for more information."

Hi! Hopefully someone can help since i'm lost and haven't found a working answer for this online.

I am trying to do a full backup of Windows 10, because i want to restore it. When starting the backup, it stops at 8% and gives me the following error:

A shadow copy could not be created. Please check "VSS" and "SPP"

application event logs for more information.

Details: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup

process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur.

Error code: 0x81000019

On services.msc Volume Shadow Copy is set to Running and Automatic and the Dependencies too. I didn't find a SPP service but i found Software Protection which is also set to Running and Automatic.

Otherwise I don't know what else to do.

Thanks for any help!
