Error: The provider returned an unexpected error code.

    Hi,
    I recently setup a new Hybrid backup and I get the above error after a few seconds of starting the backup. This is directly as the VSS starts.
    Things I have tried:
    Use system VSS provider in advanced.
    Turn off NTFS fast scan
    Edit security in the dcomcnfg to make sure system/admins/network service all have full access (This, helpfully, was from logging a ticket - 251033 - via the software, but was told the ticket system is not for free use)
    Nothing has worked. It was running fine for a week, but has not ran all week now.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Do you still see event ID 8194 in the event logs? If not, what IDs can be seen there? There's a lot of info on the net to troubleshoot such problems if you know the event IDs.

    No ID 8194, but a lot of 12293. True, there is a lot of info about it, but not much of it is consistent across posts.
    While investigating, there seems to be a more general error with VSS / System Protection. Cannot even open the System Protection page. Guess I need to sort that first...
    Ah well, joys of Windows...

    Well, during investigations, I found Windows 10 build 1903 showing as ready to install, so I installed that.
    All is now well, so I guess it was some weird OS issue.
    Thanks anyway Matt.
