Windows 10: Stop Web History

I recently reset my computer and ever since I am polluted with my browser history. I have been to settings and ticked the "Delete History on Closing" box but all to no avail. Will someone please tell me how to stop Google storing and displaying my last search as shown in the attachment?

Cheers,

Windows10 File History Stopped Backing Up

Steve. Thanks for the info! Since re-setting the Options in FH seems to have fixed it, I plan to leave well enough alone. But will definitely try your suggestion if it quits working again.

On a more general question: Is there a better Auto Backup application than File History? I don't care about historical versions of any files - only current version in case my hard drive fails. I prefer it to be on my external hard drive (not cloud), and free is always good!

 

edge clear history

My edge clear history has stopped working. The only way I can clear the history is to right click on web page in the history list then select delete.

Any help with this?

 

File History never copies anything

Hi,

Temporary system failure is one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. To help resolve the issue, we suggest deleting the files in the USB drive. Follow the steps below:

• Open Settings > Update & Security > Backup > More Options.
  
• Click Stop using this drive.
  
• Delete the File History folder on your external drive.
  
• Try again to add the USB drive to backup File History.
  

Keep us in the loop with the result.
