Hi Bob,

Hope you're doing well.

1. Check whether the account currently logged in to the machine has sufficient permissions;
2. Open cmd as an administrator and run the following command to view the status of vss writers:

vssadmin list writers

3. Try to restart the vss service.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
