Cloud Backups Failing: VSS Copy Service Error
I have a Windows 11 Pro workstation that I am trying to backup to the Cloud using Cove N-Able. The backup is failing on the system state backup section with an insufficient storage VSS error. The output from : C:\Windows\System32>vssadmin list shadowstorage vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool (C) Copyright 2001-2013 Microsoft Corp. Shadow Copy Storage association For volume: (C:)\\?\Volume{47caa634-56ca-473c-9f9b-bfb08e85de45}\ Shadow Copy Storage volume: (C:)\\?\Volume{47caa634-56ca-473c-9f9b-bfb08e85de45}\ Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 0 bytes (0%) Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 0 bytes (0%) Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 55.7 GB (25%) This shows that there is plenty of vss shadow storage available on the workstation. When the backup runs I am getting an 4001: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: "Cannot find diff areas for creating shadow copies. Add at least one NTFS drive to the system with enough free space. The free space needed is at least 320 Mb for each volume to be shadow copied" The main C:\ partition is NTFS and has 74GB of free space. Are there any ideas behind this Event Code that will help me get a valid cloud backup? Thing to note: Local backups are running without issues.Solvedtylerlang94Nov 13, 2023Copper Contributor1.2KViews0likes1Comment
Windows 2008 R2 started crashing
We have legacy windows 2008 R2 both on Azure and on-prem (under ESXi), couple of days ago, all of them started crashing. We restored the one in Azure and restore a previous state, and started isolating the problem. We started with turning off the windows update, but it still keeps on crashing and showing the recovery option page. It only affects the Windows 2008 R2, as the other Windows servers (2012, 2016 and 2019 are all working just fine). Appreciate any advise or help. Thanks!SolvedorliegoDec 23, 2021Copper Contributor2.6KViews0likes10CommentsUnknown icon in system tray
On my Windows 7 professional system. The highlighted icon in the attached image appears on every reboot. Clicking on it open Windows explorer. As far as I understand it looks like a 'generic volume' icon similar to one in device manager.

Can't AAD join windows 10 "Administrator policy does not allow user...to device join" error 801c03ed
Hi, We can join the same win 10 devices to AAD with some of our IT users but for newer IT users it fails with the error in the subject. This is OOBE and adding existing win 10 laptop. The devices are fine and meet the requirements etc but there is a problem with the users. I don't know what policy is causing this? The enrollment device restrictions should not be stopping this as some of the users haven't enrolled anyone yet (so no problem with the device limit) and also the device type allowed them to enroll Windows 10. The users have also been added as device enrollment managers in endpoint manager. Thanks, NigelSolvedNigel-AFeb 01, 2021Copper Contributor99KViews0likes12Comments

Need to Change and Apply Ease of Access Aero-Snap settings with batch script without a restart
We need to change and APPLY the Aero-Snap setting from the Ease of Access control panel, without a restart or logoff/logon in a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 20H2 non-persistent VDI environment. We know that the Registry value (at least) HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowArrangementActive (0 or 1 value) controls the "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" setting. The problem is that while our User Profile management system saves and then restores this Registry value during a later LOGIN, there appears to be a timing issue that prevents it from being activated. As a stop gap measure, we would like to execute a BATCH script to change and APPLY the user's desired setting during their current Startup script's execution. Setting the Registry value is the EASY part. I need information on how to APPLY the setting "programmatically" in a .BAT file (I am NOT a C++, C# or Power Shell programmer). I would expect that if such a command exists (rundll32.exe ????), it may also APPLY many other settings in the Registry that were changed but not yet activated. In other words, we want a "program/command" that essentially hits the "Apply" button in the Control Panel. There may be other Registry keys/values involved in this that we could add to the mix of Save at logoff and Restore at login, but we need to APPLY them in the current login session. Restart or Logoff/Login is NOT an option obviously. There do not appear to be any Domain or Local GPO's affecting this operation. The setting always appears to ALLOW window arrangement when they are moved to the screen edge, which is undesirable by many users. Cycling explorer.exe does NOT activate the new setting (much to my surprise). We are also aware of the SnapAssist, SnapFill, and JointResize Registry values in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced key. My own IT department PC has had the Aero-Snap settings under Settings -> System ->Multitasking changed but those ...Explorer\Advanced values have NOT appeared in its Registry. Your help with this matter is greatly appreciated! ChevITGuySolvedChevITGuyJan 20, 2021Brass Contributor3.3KViews0likes4Comments
Windows 10 LTSC Inbox Apps
Hi, I am deploying Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC for my users. I wish them to have sticky notes as well. I know that we can install it using the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Inbox Apps but not sure what to run in the Power Shell to get it working. I tried Add-Package -path "D:\x68fre\microsoft.Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_x.appsbundle" But I get an error after running the command. Does anyone know what is the right way to install. I do not wish to make any variable change, just install the package as it is.Solvedrajeev_vlalJul 15, 2020Copper Contributor8.3KViews1like3Comments
Chinese calendar in Taskbar
I do not have the Chinese language installed on my English Windows 10, but the calendar in the task bar shows Chinese. All the instructions I find on the web follow this procedure to fix it: Press Windows “start” button. Select Settings . Select Time & language. Under Date & time, select Additional date, time, & regional settings. On the next window, select Language. On the left side of the window, select Change date, time, or number formats. Another window will pop up. Under Formats tab, click the drop-down arrow for Format. Select the desired language. Click OK. The problem is, when I select Additional date, time, & regional settings in step 4, there IS NO Language on the next window, just what is shows in the attachment. Any ideas how to fix this?SolvedJimWHJul 04, 2020Copper Contributor69KViews0likes7CommentsMoving users home folder from C to D
