SDSSnapshotProcess triggers errors with VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service
I just bought two new Optiplex 7000 Towers and one new Precision 3660 Tower from Dell, all three with Win 10 Pro 64-bit and a number of Dell's add-on programs.
In Event Viewer on all three machines, about twice per day (and NOT at startup), there are pairs of Errors about VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service. These seem to be triggered instantly by SDSSnapshotProcess, which might be one of those Dell add-on features (not sure).
Now, these VSS Errors occur only some of the time when SDSSnapshotProcess starts, not all of the time. But the VSS Errors do occur about twice per day and seem always to be triggered by SDSSnapshotProcess. (FYI - On the other occasions when SDSSnapshotProcess starts (no VSS Error), there is a following Information line that "The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout.” )
The full Event Viewer Error entry for the VSS Errors is the following:

What do you think about the VSS Errors? How can I fix?
Thanks.
