    That error is caused most of the time either by a faulty driver or hardware problem. Since you say that this happened after a power failure and the error seems to be in the Volume snapshop service that looks like a hard disk problem. Had you tried starting in safe mode and perform an error check on the disk? Oct 19, 2017 at 19:43
  • update to finale, you use an Insider Build and got a green screen of death instead a blue one. maybe with 16299.15 it is fixed Oct 20, 2017 at 14:15
  • This is a known problem with Insider build 17017. Sadly, I am having this problem and don't have a good copy of volsnap.sys to restore. :( Nov 1, 2017 at 8:51

SOLVED BY COPING THE VOLSNAP FROM C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\System32\drivers to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and everything works fine

copyying from old windows folder. Did not works for me. Tried to copy from a Ubuntu OS to go to the Windows disk, did not work either (files I/O errors)

What did work was copying the volsnap.sys driver from a Bootable Windows 10 USB Fall creator edition stick. Used Rufus to create the bootable stick .

You boot the USB stick, select repair my computer, select command prompt. Delete or rename the C:\windows\System32\driver\volsnap.sys file and copy one from X:\Windows\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\volsnap.sys
