When attempting to backup my system I was unable to as it said the VSS writer is missing.
After researching found that the reason it will not run is the Filemaps folder is missing from the winsxs folder
I also cannot run SFC/scannnow not sure if it is because this folder is missing but did follow the steps in a blog to verify that the trusted installer information in the registry was correct.
My biggest question is can I restore just this folder from a backup that I have. It has been missing for about 3 weeks now. Will the restore of this folder from 3 to 4 weeks old break anything?
