Windows 10: Can Windows 10 File History config files be rebuilt?

I have a backup using file history, however, connected to a different PC and selected to use a different drive but now the config.xml files were overwritten. The EDB files as well as Data are still in tact.

V.1803 & File History..

Just for grins, I ran the "Rest File History to Default in Windows 10" tutorial .bat file and then rebuilt the include folder list to include all of the folders on the "C" drive. I let it run overnight and it backed up all of the folders to an internal 1TB drive. I've added files to a couple of the folders and FileHistory has done the backups as it should. I'm glad they fixed the function, rather than delete it as was thought with v.1803. Next step is to check the System Image function.

File History not working

File History (FH) is somewhat unreliable. My usual fix is this:

File History - Reset to Default in Windows 10

• Stop FH from the configuration window
• Delete your FH config files at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration
• Restart FH and select to use the same backup drive as before

 

File History not backing up any files

Hello Victor

Thank you for the response. I had already checked that thread, but it hasn't helped me:

• The thread deals with Windows 8's implementation of File History, which is somewhat different to that of Windows 10.
• Most of the thread deals with setting up File History (which I have already done, precisely following the recommended steps). The third link in the thread might have been useful since it appears to link to a page that deals with troubleshooting File History
  (as opposed to setting it up), but unfortunately the link is dead.

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
