If you are 100% sure that the Duplicati instance you use is running with administrative privileges, the only reason I can think of is a missing VC++ Redist package or incorrect installed VC++ version.

You need the 2015 version (to be sure, install both 32 and 64 bit versions), although installing version 2017 is also reported as a solution for not working shadow copies in Duplicati:
