Ive had it with System Protection...

Go to control panel, admin tools, services, volume shadow copy, but that may cause more problems than it solves.

Turn it off, and keep an eye on it throughout the day. See if you can determine when and what causes it to turn back on.

Hello again peck1234.


We're glad you found a solution that works for you, thanks for the update.

Ummm,, If VSS is deleted and therefore not running at all.
You could run into some other major issues.

If you ever decide to use any backup utility, you could have problems backing up your data.

I tried to warn him.

Yes, I just thought I would second it.

Windows really is getting to the point where it doesn't need tweeking.
Systems are so fast anymore that the slowest thing in a PC now days is the hard drive and even SSD's are dropping in price and getting larger.. And space isn't a real issue either, as all new PC's come with really big drives.

There is no reason, (imo), to tweek or turn off things in Windows, other than cosmetic reasons.

VSS has nothing to do with cosmetics.
