2] Re-register DLL files required by VSS
If the above method did not solve the issue, try re-registering the DLL files required by VSS. Before re-registering the DLL files, it is important to enable the Volume Shadow Copy, otherwise, you may get a message. “Volume Shadow Copy was not started.” In method 1, we have listed the procedure to start the VSS.
Launch the Command Prompt and enter the following commands and press Enter key after each command:
net stop vss
net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
vssvc /register
regsvr32 /I swprv.dll
Having done that, see if it has helped.
3] Check if any VSS writer has an error
To check if any of the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) writer has an error or not, launch the Command Prompt as an Administrator and type the following command, and press Enter.
vssadmin list writers
You have to wait till the process gets completed. If you find an error in any of the VSS writers, run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt and press Enter after typing each command.
cd c:\Windows\System32
net stop vss
net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
net start vss
shutdown /r (reboot)
After rebooting the system, check the status of the VSS writers by entering the same command written above in this method. Now, the VSS service should function properly.
We hope this post helped you solve the issue.
