Hi. Have been running Windows back-up successfully for several months, and now an error: 0x80070578 has cropped up - unfortunately, after tracking down that it means 'invalid window handle' (why the xxx doesn't Microsoft tell you instead of just giving an obscure code ? *), I am none the wiser. Is there anything that a mere user (i.e.non-geek) can do to avert this terrible calamity please ?
(yes, I do have another - cloud - backup which seems to be working successfully. And I systematically check for and apply updates; system watched over by ESET antivirus, IOBIt pro and malwarebytes. No recent changes, except for installing AntiLogger free. No, I am not happy with the way Window works, but that is Microsoft's fault, not mine).
Thanks, old gobbo
