    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.

    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
