Instant cliché cleaning

Volume shadows ARE created.
2 problems:
(1) they cannot be cleaned/deleted through disk cleanup-> files from all users on this computer-> more Options-> System Restore and snapshots snapshots.
(2) HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToSnapshot is ignored/not not exclude files and directories.
for example. Key value 'APU' '%windir%\softwaredistribution\*.*/s' is included in the shadow copies. The path solves correctly in the command prompt.

There are several shadow copies, and I tried to turn it off for the system disk (c :)) and turn it back on, then create multiple shadow copies again, then try to clean.)
The paths in FilesNotToSnapshot are always included snapshots.

Hi Nathan-Vindicator,

Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

First check if you receive errors. You can check the event logs or use the monitor of reliability for all critical events.

For more information, you can consult the following link:

  • Copy timeout error shadow (0 x 81000101)

    Hello
    I can't do a system restore point on my Vista Ultimate x 32 SP2 system. I get the error timeout of 0 x 81000101 on the two partitions that I have (C:, D: partition of data system)

    What I've tried so far:
    1 reset Windows Update

    -Rename \Windows\SoftwareDistribution...
    -restart the service

    Hello

    Thank you for using Microsoft answers.

    Follow the instructions below that may help you resolve the issue.

    Method 1:

    Let us try to disable the antivirus/firewall and check if it works. If this works, contact the manufacturer of security program for assistance.

    Reactivate the security program after reviewing the issue.

    Method 2:

    1. click on Start, click run, type regedit, and then click OK.

    2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VolSnap

    3. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD value.
    4 type MinDiffAreaFileSize, and press ENTER.
    5. on the Edit menu, click modify.
    6. tap the desired size for the shadow storage area, and then click OK.
     
    The MinDiffAreaFileSize registry key specifies the minimum size of the shadow storage area; the default setting is 300 MB, and the maximum bet is 3 gigabytes (GB). For an accurate setting, specify a value that is a multiple of 300 MB; in the contrary case, we will choose the next multiple of 300 MB. A value of 300 is 300 MB, and a value of 3,000 is equal to 3 GB.

    Note Shadow copies may not function properly if the value of the MinDiffAreaFileSize registry subkey is greater than the maximum size of the shadow storage area. For example, if you set it to 1024 MB registry parameter, backup software will not generate snapshots of 200 MB system partition. Therefore, before creating the MinDiffAreaFileSize registry subkey, make sure that the diff area file is greater than 300 MB or the diff area file is larger than the value specified in the registry. In addition, make sure you have at least 300 MB of free space on the volume snapshot storage.

    Method 3:

    Let us check if the shadow copy Volume and the dependecy services service are running.

    1. Click Start, type services.msc in start search and press ENTER.

    2. Locate the instant cliché service of Volume, right-click on it and click Start.

    3. right click on it again, and then select Properties.

    4. go to the Dependencies tab.

    5. Notes the dependency services.

    6. ensure that they are also running.

    7. make a right click on it and select start.

    8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for the service backup of Windows as well.

    Check whether the problem is resolved.

    Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.

    Kind regards

  • Right-click for slow response

    I recently started to feel a slow response for right click commands, usually they would "hang" for 3 to 6 minutes. I have seen similar posts and followed the instructions with the following results:

    1. started in Mode safe: the first right-click had a delay of 30 seconds, after the reaction was instant
    2. clean Booted: followed all instructions to eliminate stray services, found nothing specific but the right click to answer somehow reduced to 30-40 seconds
    3 Ran SFC: no problems not reported

    Now, the period is reduced to 20-30 seconds, but it is still longer than before.

    This problem started a week ago and gradually got behind more long until he was sometimes 6 minutes or more. I'm stubborn me for the delay. Once the pop-up window opens hit does not remove it, there's still 2 or 3 minutes. During this time the office is "frozen". Inatalling Service Pack 1 did not immediately solve the problem, and I did a full scan with Kaspersky showing no infection.

  • System Restore does not, component of volume shadow copy has encountered an unexpected error. 0 x 80042302

    This has happened before and my OS began telling me that it was not authentic, even if it was. Comes with the system and I have the key... but Ibuypower (which ruined my computer TWICE when they were 'building' and I had to pay for sending him back so that they can fix their screws) did not send my software disc. I have corrected the problem before making a system, safe mode restore. It was caused by a Microsoft Update... and they wanted me to pay US $250 to fix it (more than the cost of the OS!) I want to fix the problem for good however and I'm tired of feeling like these ups live problems software and updates happen just so that people have to pay more money. Is there a fix REAL for that matter? Or maybe just do as most of the others are more and just get the OS from torrents for free? Since paying obviously has no benefits, he claims too. Sorry, won't be a tail... its just very frustrating when you are trying to do things the right way and you still get screwed.

  • Instant Volume restore error 0 X cliché 80042304 system is not registered

    original title: shadow copy of Volume?

    I get a message when you try to create a restoration point that bed the Volume snapshot provider is not registered in the system (0 X 80042304)

    But how do you start it? I thought that Windows would do this automatically?

    Using systems eplains everything about shadow copies, but not what to call it?

    Hi G_501,

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    I suggest that you check whether the required services are running on the computer.

    (a) click Start-> type services.msc in the search bar and press enter.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

    (c) in the following list services search services below and make sure that the start-up services and set to automatic.

    Shadow copy volume

     

     

    If the previous step fails, then disable the security software installed on the computer, and try again later to create a system restore point.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Sierra / Mac Adware Cleaner

    Since I've upgraded to the new OSX on my iMac, what an advertising program keeps popping up whenever I log on my computer. I tried to remove it, but it always comes back.

    It is very inconvenient for my mac was going well until I upgraded. What is c? And once I left the application a pop-up ad appears in the right corner.

    How can I get rid of these?

    That Mac has been affected by "CleanMyMac" that must be removed. Remove it, then follow the applicable recovery procedure below.

    'Cleaning' apps are scams. Extract of effective defenses against software malware and other threats:

    • Never install a product that claims to 'clean up', 'speed', 'optimize', 'boost' or 'speed up' your Mac; to "wash", "tune" or to make it "brilliant". These allegations are absurd.
      • These products are marketed very aggressively. They are all scams.
      • They usually operate on the erroneous premise that Mac builds 'junk' that must be systematically 'cleaned' for optimum performance.
      • Trial versions of these programs are successful because they provide more instant gratification of free space on the disk.
      • This increased space is the result of irreversible destruction of files, programs or operating system components normally protected against accidental tampering or removal. The eventual result will be the reliable operation, poor performance and random crashes that may not become evident for months, or even years after their use, when updates of programs or OS X are finally released.
      • Memory "cleaners" that bypass the work of OS x memory management algorithms by purging the memory contents inactive for mass storage, which can only result in performance degradation and accelerated the hardware failure.

    To remove 3 CleanMyMac itself, use its Uninstall module, followed the following additional steps:

    • Delete the file ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

      • To access this file, copy and Paste the following line in the menu to go to Finder > go to folder...

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

      • Locate the following file and drag it to the Trash:

    com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    • Then, open  (menu Apple) > System Preferences > users and groups > login items.
    • Select the item of Menu of CleanMyMac3
    • Click on the [-] (button less).
    • Restart your Mac.

    Beware that reinstall OS X has no effect on deletion CleanMyMac or reverse the damage, it is able to inflict on a system. To recover from the effects of using it to change the OS X software, you need and essential files you need, follow the applicable recovery procedure below:

    • If you have a backup that you created before using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. To boot OS X RecoveryTime Machine in Mac OS X utility screen, select restore from a Time Machine backup. Choose a date prior to the installation of CleanMyMac.
    • If you don't have a backup previous use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do this read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.
      • The recovery procedure require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user account whose content will be empty. You can then use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents, including photos, music, products of work and other essential files.
      • To erase and install OS X read How to reinstall OS X on your Mac.
        • Follow step 2 to completely erase the internal memory of the CMA: disk utility (El Capitan): delete a volume.
        • Then follow the procedure to move your content to a new Mac.
        • When asked how you want to transfer your data, select transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup or boot disk.
        • Under Select the information to transfer, select only your old user account and do not select 'Applications', 'Computer and Network Settings' or 'other files and folders. Deselect these choices.
      • After using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software that you might need, once more without forgetting to install the software from their original sources and by omitting all non-essential software.
      • "Non-essential software" is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to the products 'antivirus' third party 'cleaning' and 'maintenance '.
  • Firefox instantly hangs at startup

    When I try to open Firefox it flashes an error instantly "Screenshot attached (Error)" and the past in the background report.

    Pop lasts for 1 or 2 frames so its went very quickly, try to click on safe mode or refresh does nothing.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox.

    I tried to uninstall Firefox and ensuring that everything is removed, Run applications to delete all the files and all add-ins, cache cleaning and then restarted the computer and run again clean it before reinstalling. Still the same error.

    Firefox worked very well for many years, I update it every time there is an update. He was working a little more than 2 hours. I closed it to work on something else, when I back to open again this starting happening in Firefox.

    Other browsers work fine. IE Chrome and Edge everything works fine.

    Could you please advice what I can try next. Thank you.

    Oh, thanks for the recent report of incidents. It is a problem with the secure certificate.

    I suggest renaming the cert8.db file in case it is damaged, although if you deleted all your Firefox data, this will probably not help.

    This file is located in your current Firefox profile folder, you can find by following the steps in this article: profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

    Firefox starts after that?

    You can also try the following if you delete your Firefox program folder when reinstalling previously:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 42.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) simply rename the folder of the current programme, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Firefox works normally?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Otherwise, there is no reason to keep the old folder except research/curiosity.

  • Start A60 after cleaning of the ATI drivers problem

Well, he stopped boot at all. Normally, in 'the last working configuration', or 'safe mode '... It gives for an instant Windows logo glitters even more short with a blue screen and goes immediately to restart...

    Is there anything I can do about it without reinstalling Windows and losing my data?
    Thank you very much!

    Hi Dimitri

    Connect the HARD drive to the other PC (using the USB HDD) and try to copy all the data to the main PC.
    Replace the portable HARD drive and preinstall the operating system using the recovery media.

    On this way you will have own OS and save your time and nerves.

  • Satellite L650 - random instant shut-off valve

    Was using my laptop and all of a sudden he stops instantly. Turned it on and it happened once again quite close at the start.

    So I thought it was a battery problem, I took and used only AC power. It has worked well for the rest of the night. I have yet to test the battery and it turns off again.

    On the morning, it was on straight for hours then until 18:00 ish, you instantly stop again. It turned on and once again it happened close to start.

    This may be the cause? Overheating during the day? Form questionable ca, he needs a few twists before recharging, but then that's fine.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if the fans and the vents are free of dust.
    For most high temperature is responsible for this stop automatic downs.

    Clean fans/grids in the past? Isn't it?
    I put t know how old your laptop is but the unit must be cleaned periodically to prevent overheating of the laptop.

    Use a common compressed air spray that would help you to get rid of the dust.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @scifijunky73

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you are having problems with one of the instant ink cartridges you have.

    My recommendation is to contact HP customer care on 0207 660 0596 (indicating your call is on the program of instant ink) Monday - Friday 08:30-18:00 (except holidays). It is best that you contact team of instant ink for your cartridge problem.

    Please let me know if you are unable to contact the team of instant ink.
