VSS error using IFW on Win 11?
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2025 9:30 pm
I just upgraded my system to Windows 11, and did a backup with IFW 4.05 running GUI from elevated CMD prompt.
It seems to be working, but I noticed this error in the Windows Application Log about the time I started IFW running.
Should I be concerned?
