  1. windows 10 FileHistory


    Hello .

    I need some help with FileHistory backup. The system as stopped working.

    I've tryed a number of sugestions from previous posts but still backup won't work.

    I need to use the same external USB drive, there is a backup on this drive. I've tryed changing the FileHistory file name in the hope that the backup softwere would start again with a new backup.

    This dos appen in that a new FileHistory folder in installed on the dirve together with a configeration and Date folder but the with nothing inside.

    when looking at settings, Backup options. Pressing the "backup now" butten starts the prosses but no date is coped to the backup drive.

    I've noted that "size of Backup" is shone as 0 bytes. The folders solected for back up do have data in then. But could it be thay the backup system can no "see" the folders to be dacked up?


    Thanks in advance for eny help

    Recards Paul

    :)

    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

    FileHistory in Windows 10 Build 17763.253 completes incomplete windows 10 FileHistory :)

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    File History only backs up copies of files that are in the Documents,
    Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders and the OneDrive files available offline on your PC. If you have files or folders elsewhere that you want backed up, you can add them to one of these folders. I would suggest you to format the new
    drive and then try to initiate file History back up once again.



    You can try resetting File history. To reset file history, disable (turn it off) it and follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Go to the folder %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory. You can copy and paste this path to the address bar of File Explorer.
    2. Delete all files and folders you see.


    Once you perform the above steps, you can try setting up file history once again. If you need any additional assistance, please reply back with the exact error message.



    Regards,
