Windows 10: File History CloudRestoreBackup events even though I dont use File History

I have been getting these CloudRestoreBackup events randomly. Sometimes one day apart, some days a week apart.I know they're related to File History but that is disabled on my machine. I also do not have OneDrive installed or any cloud backup software. Currently experiencing performance issues in a game so I'm trying to clean my EV as much as possible. I found a File History task that completed at the same time as the most recent one of these events, so I disabled it to see if that prevents the events/errors from happening again. Please correct me if it was bad for me to disable that task. May

  Backup to a different drive section, and choose Stop Using Drive.
