    Windows 10 Backup won't add a selected folder


    I'm trying to add my Pictures folder to the list of folders to be backed up to a Synology NAS. However, when I drill down to select that folder, the folder is not added to the list. Why might that be? Is this a permission issue? Or?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
