question

Hi，
Usually, we can activate VSS in Windows 7 following the steps below:
a. Click “Start”, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter.
Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to continue, please click “Continue”.
b. Double click “Volume Shadow Copy Service” and switch to “General” tab.
c. Change the “Startup type” to “Automatic” and click “Apply”.
d. Click “Start” and click “OK”.
But it seems difficult to activate it in Windows 7 embedded, you can check the following threads:

Thanks for your time!
