    Backup Size 0 Bytes?

    Hi! I have a Windows 10 on a Lenovo Flex 14. For the past couple of months I have not been able to make any successful backups, because every time I try to make a backup, the system says that my backup size is 0 byte. Now:

    - I have tried using different backup drives and they all have plenty of space

    - I have tried using file history to create a restoration point but it wouldn't let me do that either

    - I have scanned the system using sfc /scannow and the message said that Windows has "successfully repaired the corruption" but the backup still doesn't work

    - I have removed the folders and re-added them to the backup settings

    Why can't Windows recognize that my folders has so much more than 0 bytes to back up?
