Taskbar Widgets keep closing, won't stay open

Yeah I spent a out 2 hours trying every "fix I could find making sure the two services were started, disabled windows default firewall and antivirus. No dual boot. Just the main Win 10 drive and the backup SSD (internal sata) connected. After 2 hours and still having the issue, I ended up just doing a Disk Clone over to the other SSD, took about 30 min.

So I've been using Win 10 (upgraded from Win 7) for a few days and was going to try the Win 10 tonight to see if the Widgets are working.

I went to Control Panel, Backup and Restore, and select Create a System Image.

It starts, but then shows the following error (image)

and when going into Event Viewer and looking at VSS it says"

Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service information: The COM Server with CLSID {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} and name CEventSystem cannot be started. [0x8007045b, A system shutdown is in progress. ] Event Xml: http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> 13 0 2 0 0 0x80000000000000 3831 Application SamEarley-PC {4e14fba2-2e22-11d1-9964-00c04fbbb345} CEventSystem 0x8007045b, A system shutdown is in progress. "

I'm not sure why it would think a system shutdown is in process?

Hi,

Several entries on the web about those 2 errors showing on your snapshot 0x807800A1 and 0x800423F4...

Don't expect much help from MS, since they deprecated the only backup utility they have. 😒

I still use it regularly even on windows 11 without any issues.

I just make sure that there is enough space on every partition to create the Volume Shadow Copy.
