Troubleshoot Error 0x81000203

[JB007]

Hello,
Yesterday, thanks to MalwareTips community, I have solved an issue with Emsisoft Internet Security using Revo Pro: A major problem prevents the application startup
When I used Revo Pro I noticed that it cannot made a restoration point.
So I go to take a look and noticed that there is an error.


I tried to apply the following fix but without success: Problème restauration système - erreur 0x81000203 Windows 7/8
Can you help me ?

 

[JB007]

"Partition out of space"
I guess that your hard drive and your Windows 10 Partition on One Partition is.
Show in the Disk management:

Hello @Xtwillight

Hello @Xtwillight
If I understand you spoiler, I have to change 5/ and 6/:
5/Fixed Disk Boot Sector >>> It's good to change "Normal" to "Write Protect"
6/Intel Platform Trust Technology >>> It's good to change "off" for "on"

Can you confirm to me if I can made these BIOS changes without risks ? Thanks.

Hi, I have the exact same problem with system restore on W10
THe problem started after I uninstalled kaspersky using iobit uninstaller (no traces found) and kaspersky uninstaller tool then I installed avast internet security. From this time, I started having this problem (0x81000203). I don't have tuneup turbo mode. I also checked that 2 of the required services are automatic and started. Don't know what to do other than restoring from an image backup (unfavorable)
Last time doing this, I also got this problem. After unisntalling avast and re-installing kaspersky, it wasn't solved

Hello @Evjl's Rain
Thanks
I have also used Kaspersky removal tool, but I do not know if my problem started immediatly after using it. I noticed my problem later...

• JB007 "5/Fixed Disk Boot Sector >>> It's good to change "Normal" to "Write Protect"
  No Normal Protect is Right!
  
• 6/Intel Platform Trust Technology >>> It's good to change "off" for "on"
  No Off is Right!

Oh oh JB007, that Could your Problem have been.
I have in my Forum a Beta Tester, has reported a Kaspersky version Vss has disabled,
and all Shadow Copy deletet has. This problem has been corrected.

If it can help you, I have installed and removed Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 stable version (not beta).

 

[Xtwillight]

I know it, and the problem was with a stable vision from Kaspersky

Edit : addendum
As far as I know is the wrongdoer at the uninstall tool
"Removaltool 'Kavremover'

I have my User colleague informed,
he wants to report here.

Thank you very much @Xtwillight

"Kav Remover" should be used only when standard uninstallation (Control Panel -> Programs & Features) failed and Kaspersky leftovers/drivers were not completely uninstalled/deleted. Sometimes this tool could be very problematic.

In general to perform a good Kaspersky uninstallation:

1.- Disable in Settings -> Additional -> Self-Defense.

2.- Exit product (from K icon in Windows TaskBar -> Exit), wait some seconds until Kaspersky services leave the system.

3.- Go to Control Panel -> Programs & Features and run Kaspersky standard uninstaller.

After that, personally I usually run a Windows Registry clean up with tool: Registrar Registry Manager Free, just type word: kaspersky and find all the registry keys that left in system and delete all of them.

Thank you for the post but I already have the problem and it cannot be fixed now. There is no point to make a backup and uninstall KIS anymore because it was already uninstalled by Kaspersky uninstaller
I would try to use registry manager to remove kaspersky entries to see if there is any imrovement. Otherwise I would disable VSS permanently

 

[Xtwillight]

Evjl's Rain I would have understood that
"Thank you for the post but I already have the problem and it cannot be fixed now. There is no point to make a backup and uninstall KIS anymore because it was already uninstalled by Kaspersky uninstaller".

Therefore dignity I to rate,
a Backup with Macrium Reflect frees to make.
Than have you a Image from your hard drive.

And then you try to use registry manager to remove kaspersky entries to see if there is any imrovement.

report you, if it works and Vss after that is working !

Hello @Xtwillight
Alas for me I have yet uninstalled KIS 2017 with "KAV Remover"
Can I hope for a solution or my problem is definitively unsolvable ?

 

[Evjl's Rain]

I use the tool but I have no idea what to delete. It seems that all the reg entries should not be deleted

 

[harlan4096]

If You don't have any Kaspersky product installed and in use in Your system, I would delete all of them, but creating a Windows Registry snap-shot/registry copy previously
