This is interesting. VC Redist 2015 is a [requirement](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/hyper-v-backup-on-server2016/758/2?u=kees-z) for AlphaVSS, according to @kenkendk.  
As far as I know, the opposite of your proposed solution is true: reported Duplicati problems with AlphaVSS were solved by installing the 2015 version instead of 2017.
