Windows 10: Backup - File History won't include the most recently updated files of a folder

Hello Microsoft Community,
I experiencing a problem with the Backup option.

File History won't backup all files of a designated folder. As you can see, it should back up the entire "Documents" with all its subfolders.


But it only backs up about 95 % of the included folders and files. It seems to miss the most recently updated folders and files specifically.

I can't seem to find a workaround. I tried formating the USB drive two times, I tried removing the USB drive as a backup option and adding it again as a backup option. There is no "error message" or such thing, so the system does not give me a hint, that it can not back up this lastest files. I only discovered that the backup is only of 95 % of the files by accident.

The laptop is a Lenovo Yoga C640 I3IML. No Windows update needed as I write this post.

I'm thankful for any hint on how I might solve this issue. I apoligize if there is a already a similar post and I did not find it.

Thank you for your time.
Best, Cookie156

Backup These Folders in File History

My Pictures and My Videos folders are inside the My Documents folder. In File History all three folders are listed in the Backup These Folders list. Does this mean that because of this, files in Pictures and Videos are backuped twice? Once when backing up
My Documents and once when backing up My Pictures and My Videos (included in My Documents)

 

File History backup drive not updating to most recent file changes

When I ask File History (Windows 10) to copy my files to an external hard drive, the version saved doesn't seem to be updating to my most recent File History. Going from Control Panel > System and Security > File History > Restore personal files, everything
seems to be updated correctly in the latest version. The issue seems to mostly be around organization and folders not existing.

 

Recent File List

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file1

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file2
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file3
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file4
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file5
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file7
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file8
Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
