Windows 10: VSS Event 13 Shutdown

hi.

My pc is shutting down intermittently, but more frequently of late. A check of the event log shows a VSS event id 13 error causing a system shutdown. Right now i cant even get passed the log in screen. Booting into safe mode is my only option.


Any help?

Windows 10 VSS Event ID 13

Hi,

I recently got this error, and haven't found a similar question asked. If anyone knows if this is serious or how to fix I would love to hear it, of course.

VSS Event ID 13

Volume Shadow Copy Service information: The COM Server with CLSID {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} and name CEventSystem cannot be started. [0x8007045b, A system shutdown is in progress.

Thank You!

 

VSS Errors 8193 and 13

O.K. - I just used Macrium to make a backup and the Event Viewer did not report a VSS error 13 or 8193.

However, after a reboot from running Macrium backup software the VSS errors 13 and 8193 did appear in the Event Viewer.

The problem isn't with the Macrium software, it is with the actual Volume Shadow Service not fully shutting down no matter what is using it such as Windows Backup or Acronis or Macrium.

I was using the Windows Steps Recorder; however, during a reboot, the recorder cannot continue to run to record the actual service not shutting down properly.

I think it has already been established that the Volume Shadow Service is the problem and a possible workaround would be to manually shut the service down before a reboot or shutdown of the computer. We shouldn't have to do that, so ultimately it would fall into Microsoft's hands to apply a patch to shut down the VSS application correctly after a program uses it.

 

VSS Errors 8193 and 13

COM+ Event System is set to use LocalService in 1809, and 1809 doesn't have the issue.

If a System Restore Point is created, either manually or through Task Scheduler, Event ID 13 and 8193 will be triggered on shutdown.

VSS is not running at that point.

However, one thing I've found in testing that seems to affect Event ID 13 and 8193, is starting VSS before shutdown.

In an elevated Command Prompt:

net start vss

It's a 1903 issue for some, but not everyone.
