  You can restart the service by clicking the Windows Orb on the taskbar, the type of 'services' in the search field.
  Right click on the 'Services' entry that appears, and then click "Run as Administrator". You can ask your password or to OK action.
  Locate the service "Volume Shadow Copy" in the list on the right, right-click and select "Start" to start the service.

  Hey Mike, this problem started after that you have installed Service Pack 2?
  If so, I recommend you as to uninstall SP2.

  Also, have you tried to do a restore of the system to a point when it worked?

• "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.

  Hello
   
  1. what exactly are you trying to do?
  2. did you of recent changes to the computer?
   
  The main objective of the Volume Shadow Service is to manage and implement the shadow copies of Volume used for backup and other purposes.
   
  I suggest that you perform the SFC scan on your computer to verify the integrity of system files.

• Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

  System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

  When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

  When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

  "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
  Error 5: access is denied. »

  I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

  -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
  -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
  -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
  -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
  -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

  The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

  Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

  The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

  According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

  A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

  http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

  If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

  

  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

  So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

  On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

  

  So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

  

  Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

  That's how it is supposed to work.

  We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

  You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

  Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

  So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

  Norton has even a page about these issues:

  https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

  Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

  "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "
  

  So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

  We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

  Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

  You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?

• Volume shadow copy error after moving to MSATA SSD on R7 - 572

  A while back I cloned the value default 1 TB SATA drive on an MSATA SSD plugged into the slot unit MSATA.

  At the time I had been unable to conceive the MSATA as boot drive, while the original (also bootable drive) was in the system such that it does not appear in the BIOS from startup list.

  http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/cloned-SSD-in-Boot-Manager-but-not-boot-priority...

  As I did not need the 1 TB, I just removed and have used the system very well with just the MSATA SSD.

  Today, I tried to make an Image of Windows backup system and ran a (below) Volume shadow copy error

  Volume shadow copy service operation failed. (0x807800A1)

  Writer has encountered a transient error... (0x800423F3)

  I check all the main remedy online by ensuring that all VOlume shadow copy served are running, but without success. I feel that the fact that I'm on the SSD MSATA which was not visible in the list of the BIOS boot maybe being tied to the backup crashing.

  Anyone running the R7-572 on the MSATA port that is able to make a system image backup?

  Thanks for your comments

  It took me awhile, but I finally understood what was preventing the creation of the image of the system.

  Looking at the event viewer, he had a lot of mistakes, the first mistake we a CAPI2 with event 513, then it was a VSS error with event ID 8228 stating an invalid character in an XML file.

  Error says:
  Do not parse the XML file.
  Reason, an invalid character was found in text content.
  Line 0x000003c0
  Position 0x000009c8, the file below is damaged.
  0xc00ce508 error code
  Text problem<>

  Search through dozens of threads and try a number of bugs without success, I finally found one who mentioned their question came from bad characters in the names of partition after cloning with EaseUs Todo backup.

  It's the tool that I used to clone my drive to a SSD, I decide to check it out.

  The thread mentioned using GPT fdisk utility found on sourceforge, so I downloaded the tool.

  You just run the executable in administrator mode. Find how to use it was a little hard, but basically the commands below does the job

  0:-enabled disk 0, which is my drive.

  I - to view the information on each partition

  It will ask you the number. This allows you to see the names. Some of my partitions had some very strange names did not, we had a quote.

  I checked what names when used on another laptop and decided to appoint mine as follows (I think you can use any name)

  first 600 MB partion: database partition

  Second partition of 300 MB: EFI system partition

  Thrid 128 MB partion: Microsoft Reserved partition

  Fourth 205GB partition: partition database

  Fifth 17 GB partition: partition recovery

  To change the name of the partition, use the command

  c ask for the number of the partition, then the name

  Then save with

  w - written revisions and outputs

  I rebooted, tried the system image backup and no problem this time.

  I lost a full day on this topic, so I hope it can help someone else in the future

• How can I disable volume shadow copy?

  How can I disable shadow copy of volume in windows 7?

  Hi Phil8240,

  It is not recommended to turn off shadow copy Volume. It manages and implements Volume Shadow copies used for backup purposes and others. If this service is stopped, shadow copies will be unavailable for backup and the backup may fail. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on will fail to start.

  Let us know if there is some problem that you are experiencing because of shadow copy volume, so that we can help you solve the problem.

  However, if you still want to disable the shadow copy of Volume to follow the steps below:

  1. Click Start, type services and press ENTER.
  2. Locate the "Volume Shadow Copy" service and right click and click on "Stop".
  3. close the windows Services.

• Unable to backup because of the volume shadow copy error 0 x 80042302

  Hi all

  I'm trying to backup to an external hard drive and I keep getting the error 0 x 80042302. It is said that "a volume shadow copy service has met an unexpected error.check the applications for more information event log"
  I did what the other threads have said services and shall ensure that the shadow copy service and the service backup Windows are automatic and started but still nothing. I also ran a check with run with the/scannow command but nothing... I really need help everything would be appreciated.

  Hey kiran thanks a lot.

  I talked to my uncle today who knows a little about the PC and he said that it maybe the tune up utilities that could be the problem. with some services that it turns off, it may have caused a problem. I uninstalled it but still nothing... so I watched your first suggestion that was the very audience who gave a more detailed error code. I then googled that error code that led me to believe that there is another service "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider (SWPRV)" which I had not enabled and once I did here! its market so now my message would simply be that you should be careful with programs that take control of the pc! Thank you very much!

• 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.

  Hello

  
  Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?
  
  Method 1 : start the Volume Shadow Copy service and see if the problem persists.
  a: Type services.msc in the start search box and click on enter.
  b: Locate a service called instant cliché of Volume and then double-click it to open it.
  c: Now start the service then click on apply and then OK.
   

  Method 2 : run a SFC (file system check) scan and see if the problem occurs.
