This article describes an issue that occurs when you perform a backup task in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. A hotfix is available to resolve this issue. The hotfix has a prerequisite.

Symptoms

Assume that you run a backup requester application to perform a backup task on the computer.

In this scenario, the backup task fails, and you may receive the following error message that states the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) failed because of a time-out:

FAILED_AT_FREEZE (0x800423f2 - VSS_E_WRITERERROR_TIMEOUT)

Cause

The issue occurs because the VSS encounters a deadlock during the Thaw eventif the Security Account Manager (SAM) has pending writes for the registry.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, we have released a hotfix for Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, and we have released an update rollup for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012.

Note This hotfix or update rollup makes sure that VSS avoids calling the APIs that result in registry VSS writes during the Thaw event.

The update rollup fixes many other issues in addition to the issue that the hotfix fixes. We recommend that you use the update rollup. The update rollup is larger than the hotfix. Therefore, the update rollup takes longer to download.

Get the update rollup for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012To resolve this issue, install the update rollup that is dated December 2014 or November 2014.


Get the hotfix for Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2 A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft.

More Information

For more information about the Thaw eventSee the Thaw event.

The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 file information and notes

Important Windows 8 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8/Windows Server 2012" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.2.920 0.16xxx

    Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    GDR

    6.2.920 0.17xxx

    Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    GDR

    6.2.920 0.20xxx

    Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    LDR

    6.2.920 0.21xxx

    Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows Server 2012

    RTM

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information" section. MUM, MANIFEST, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are very important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
