Get a dvd download for your version of Windows 10. You can do a
repair reinstall with it. That will keep all your programs and
settings. I had to do it once already.

I chose to make an system image with Macrium Reflect. so i downloaded
the reflect program and ran it.
Ift failed with the code0x800ffff
Error Selected Writer RegistryWriter is in failed state
VSS ERROr
this error is documented in the Web but I am not sure how to import
the registryWriter key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macrium\Reflect\Exclud edWriters]

"RegistryWriter"="{afbab4a2-367d-4d15-a586-71dbb18f8485}"

I still need help please

Piece of cake.

Burn the Macrium Rescue CD (the WINPE5 version). Boot
the computer with it. There is no need for VSS if you
do backups with the Macrium Rescue CD as the "OS" when
it runs. When the CD is running, you can back up the
regular OS partition, to an external hard drive or other
storage device.

I don't know if a troubleshooter is available for VSS or not.
Check the Win10 control panel, look for Troubleshoot,
then type "VSS" in the search box in the upper right,
and see if any repair is available. (I can't check
my Win10 machine right now, as it is "busy" doing
a backup and is running another OS at the moment :-) )

"We also provide a program which will recreate the
correct registry setting and re-register all VSS components.
Please download one of the below programs to fix your problem:

HTH,

I ran Macrium rescue as you wrote. The image was saved as requested on a
separate partition. It took an hour and the image size is 60 GB.
Next step is to restore to a separate extra disk.

The previous trial (which provoked the initial message) was made wrongly
running Macrium from the win 10 OS !
Ah those aged guys !

As ~BD~ says, in all probability yes - but you'd be far better imaging
your system (the usual suspects are Macrium and Acronis, I think;
obviously read up and make sure you get a recent version that is
compatible with W10 [I don't know if there is anything weird about W10,
but there might be, that older versions of the imagers don't work with]).

snipped but read good advice

Thanks for saying so, John! :-)
