Windows 10: Why doesn't file history back up my changes to files windows 11.

Why doesn't file history back up my changes to files windows 11. It is saving all of my Pictures but I have been moving them around in the Picture folder on my PC. When I do file history is not making the changes. I tried turning off then back on, disconnecting and reconnecting, Run now.,

Windows 11 File History

Previous Versions uses File History but it is to restore individual files, and also has it's own procedure and fixes here, which work the same for Windows 10 and 11:

To restore the full File History backup see here. It's very important to follow the steps closely or it may overwrite the backup because it thinks you're setting it up new:

File History restart

Hi Jim,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



To change the backup drive for File History, the current process should be stopped. I suggest you to try the steps listed below to stop file history on an older drive and restart it on a new drive:



Change File History backup drive:

• Open Settings and navigate to Update & Security > Backup.
  
• Click on More Options, scroll down to locate
  Backup to a different drive section, and choose Stop Using Drive.
  
• Plug in the new storage drive, navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Backup,
  and choose Add a Drive.
  
• Restart File History and configure it by referring to the article
  
  File History in Windows.
  

Hope it helps.

Regards,

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.
