========== service ==========
VSS Copia shadow del volume "Gestisce e implementa le copie shadow del volume utilizzate a scopo di backup e altro. Se il servizio è stato arrestato, le copie shadow non saranno disponibili per il backup e il backup potrebbe non riuscire. Se il servizio è disabilitato, i servizi da esso dipendenti non verranno avviati." Current Status: Stopped Startup Type: Automatic Error Control: Severe Binary: C:\Windows\system32\vssvc.exe Group: (none) SafeBoot: Dependencies: ->RPCSS Dependant Services: (none)
There is the problem, the VSS service (Copia shadow del volume) is set to automatic start but it is stopped.
This is not a malware issue but what I would recommend is to follow the Microsoft knowledge base article here to run sfc /scannow to attempt to fix the VSS service.
If that does not resolve the issue, then try again to create a system restore point then check the event logs and post any related entries in your next post.
It says that nothing is missing and everything is fine... Then i retry to do system restore point but the same problem.
