    Cannot Create System Restore Point (0x80042318)

    I get this error when trying to create a system restore point. Any help would
    be appreciated:

    The Restore Point Cannot be created for the following reasons:

    An error was detected in the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). The problem
    occurred while trying to contact the VSS writers. Please verify that the Even
    System Service and the VSS service are runing and check for associated errors
    in the even logs. (0x80042318).



    Please try again.

    A couple suggestions for you to try:

    Disable any antivirus software or "defender" products.
    Try running Chkdsk (disk checking utility) on the volume where the restore
    point will be created.
