"Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy service has stopped working"

I hope that I have the right forum for my question.

I get the message pop up following several times a day: 'Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy service stopped working.

It gives me the opportunity to find a solution online and when I click on this option, the message disappears and nothing happens.

If anyone knows how I can solve this problem, I would be grateful of your.

Thank you.

Hello

Sometimes a reboot will fix this. You can also try a system restore to a point before it started happening
If possible. And it could be damaged.

  • _ "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" ___Host that process for Windows Services has stopped working as was the closed .___The system not found the environment option entered .___User control of accounts

    I tried to download a 'Virtual Villagers' Limewire program (what was I thinking?) and then I had all these virus that messed up my computer big time.

    I have the error messages are:

    Host process for Windows Services has stopped working as was closed.

    The system could not find the environment option that was entered.

    When I try to install the updates:

    "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

    The change I made before all this was trying to install Limewire "Virtual Villagers" program.

    I tried to go through the files and remove the sources of the Trojans, I ran several scans Malware Bytes (each indent to 4 Trojan horses, Rpot Kits, Ad/Spyware every time) and recently tried the Windows scanner. Who found 2 Trojan horses and withdrawn. Subsequently, I made a Malware Bytes scan which found 1 Trojan and I removed it.

    I'm not able to create, delete or modify anything in the UAC. Uninstall the habit of most of the things I try to uninstall programs and features. I'm more able to control the volume on my computer with the arrow keys and Fn. My Gallery of photos will not preview more and my computer will not install updates. My computer turns off without warning a lot and takes awhile where I can turn it back on and I hope not to have it close back 20 minutes. I try to use the system restore, but it won't work. I don't have a Windows Vista disc.

    How I have difficulty to all this and permanently delete all viruses and malware?

    4. that all the troubleshooting steps have done?

    5 have have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

    I suggest you follow the methods provided below and update us with the results.

    Note: If you are using internet explorer, follow the methods provided.

     

    Method 1: Verify the problem by running Internet Explorer mode without modules.

    To temporarily disable all add-ons:
