    Windows 11 pro File History won't start


    In Windows 11 Pro - When I select click on "File History" in Control Panel, There is no response. That is, absolutely nothing happens, nothing at all, as if the linked app doesn't even exist. I have confirmed the relevant "services" are running and set to "automatic" - Services like 'file history' and 'windows search'. Only reference to this issue I can find is from another Dell, high end 'gamer' and he has also found no solution.

    :)
