Re: System Protection Tab Error / Can't Create Restore Points
The only service I see related to DCOM is Server Process Launcher - let me know if there are others I may have missed. That, RPC and Task Scheduler are all set to Automatic and currently running.
I noticed that despite me resetting them to Automatic, Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider, Microsoft Storage Spaces SMC, and Volume Shadow Copy were not running. I manually started them all but it didn't make any difference.
