Windows 10: File History won't start automatically

Can anyone explain why file history won't start automatically when I restart my computer? (At least that's why I thin it keeps stopping).


Is it possible I have set a process not to start automatically and if so how do I 'resurrect it'?

File History does not start automatically

As I previously mentioned, Backup Using File History does not start automatically. But, you can set it to start automatically. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type services.msc and press Enter.
• Find and click File History Service.
• Change the Startup type to Automatic and apply changes.
• Press OK.

> The tutorials here on File History don't seem to make reference to the task.

and this is a thing... If there was Task scheduled it was possible to set it by hour. But this heck doesn't have it.
So we never know when it will start. So, by logic put it on every 12 hours should run it every 12 hours from last one manual or automatic.
But my problem that it simply not starts automatically. Kind of beginner programmer forgot lost himself when started to create something good.
Also, Backup and Restore (Windows 7) utility is in 1903 and it should do the job and sure has task scheduler by time.
It make backups in zip... I guess File History has really nice capabilities but missing basic needs + simply buggy, without any support or explanation. So all bla-bla documents are not so useful.
Still hope somebody can suggest some registry "push".
