Cannot create recovery disk in Windows 10 (VSS writer fail 0x800423f4)
Since installing (through Windows Update) Windows 10 Home 64-bit on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit PC I have been unable to create a recovery disk. Each try ends with the error (event log) pasted below.
I hope someone could help me with this one. I have asked Microsoft in avail, also tried various solutions from different forums. This question is also asked by many others, but there seems to be no solution.
I have fixed several problems, including the corrupt image in edge (MicrosoftEdgeSquare44x44.scale-125_contrast-white.png), then succesfully running dism and sfc. Also fixed the CAPI2 error using SC sdshow MSLLDP.
Now this is the only problem I have left, but I am getting desperate.
