VSS Errors 8193 and 13

Please do not shoot the messenger. I merely want to point out the description of the Windows Service you are considering disabling or already have. There are importation functions it performs. Only want you to be aware, then you can make an informed decision.

---

Provides three management services: Catalog Database Service, which confirms the signatures of Windows files and allows new programs to be installed; Protected Root Service, which adds and removes Trusted Root Certification Authority certificates from this computer; and Automatic Root Certificate Update Service, which retrieves root certificates from Windows Update and enable scenarios such as SSL. If this service is stopped, these management services will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

---

OK, so if you disable cryptographic services, event viewer will probably not work first time. Then it will work because Windows will start the service and set it as a manual start. I have not seen VSS error on manual start of the service (so far)


Let's just hope that MS doesn't call this problem « BY DESIGN »

Well, that was short lived. VSS errors came back. But I haven't seen any material issues because of this event.

Yes, definitly its a MS-bug ! Will they ever fix it ........?
Only the solution of Shanedh65 is solid, harmless and stable , works perfectly ............it gave me a clean eventlog , just as I had in previous 1809-version !
Tested this solution several days , these stubborn VSS-errors are gone !

Yep, that is a solution or you can use event viewer command to clear all events.
Use as .bat file and run as admin.
@echo offFOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
echo.
echo goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:noAdmin
echo "" > %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl
exit

Here is the file
Win 10 Clean Viewer.bat
