Resolve

Use the event text to determine the cause of the error condition and take appropriate action

Note: This event can be caused by running backup software containing a 32-bit Volume Shadow Copy service (VSS) requester on a 64-bit version of Windows.

This event usually indicates a problem with a VSS provider. To troubleshoot this error condition, you first need to determine what caused it by examining the event text. After determining the cause of the error condition, follow the steps indicated for each possible cause. If the problem is still not resolved, contact the provider vendor if it is not Microsoft. If the provider is a Microsoft provider, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=102491. You should provide the entire event log message as it appears in the Event Viewer.
