This issue occurred after I and other users installed KB5101684, disrupting File History.
My question Hello,I would like to ask whether other Windows 10/11 users have experienced the same File History problem, and I hope Microsoft will seriously investigate it. My laptop runs Windows 11 25H2. Before installing KB5101684, File History worked normally. After installing KB5101684, I noticed: Last backup does not update correctly. Previous Versions still shows no previous versions. Files are still written to D:\FileHistory\..., but File History does not properly update its backup information. Folders such as Desktop and Favorites have their modification dates changed even when their contents were not changed. I did not manually change File History settings, registry settings, or delete Event Viewer entries. I also experienced a similar problem on my Windows 10 22H2 desktop after installing KB5120249. In short: Windows 11 25H2 → KB5101684 → File History problem Windows 10 22H2 → KB5120249 → File History problem Could these updates have introduced a File History regression? Microsoft, please investigate whether these KB updates are related to the incorrect backup timestamps, missing previous versions, and unexpected File History behavior. Please do not simply ask users to reset File History or reselect the backup drive. Users need to know what is actually causing the problem and whether Microsoft will provide a fix. If other Windows 10/11 users have experienced the same issue, please share your Windows version, KB number, when the problem started, and whether files are still being written to the FileHistory folder. Please also consider sharing this post with other Windows users or Microsoft technical staff so this issue can receive proper attention. Microsoft, please investigate this issue seriously and provide a clear explanation and solution. Thank you. The following are the problems that users and I encountered.Laptop keyboard works in BIOS but not in Windows
My laptop keyboard works perfectly in the BIOS and in Windows recovery environments, but it stops working completely once Windows fully boots up. I have already tried updating and reinstalling the keyboard drivers, checking device manager for hidden devices, and scanning for hardware changes.Touchpad behaves differently after connecting a mouse
My touchpad disables itself immediately after I plug in an external mouse, but it fails to re-enable automatically when the mouse is unplugged. I have to manually toggle the touchpad on/off in settings to restore functionality, which is quite inconvenient.
Fan suddenly becomes extremely loud
My laptop fan suddenly starts spinning at maximum speed and becomes extremely loud, even when the system is idle and CPU usage is low. This happens randomly and continues for several minutes before returning to normal, and I have already checked for dust buildup and background processes.What is this hidden Control Panel feature in Windows10?
While going through some old notes recently, I stumbled upon a control panel icon that looked pretty strange. I first noticed it when I was installing software like a browser, Discord, audio software, and graphics card drivers, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. Im guessing this might be God Mode, but Im not entirely sure. From what I understand, it lets you access a wide range of Windows settings in one place, which could be really useful for troubleshooting minor system issues.Win10 System tray clock occasionally stops updating and shows wrong time
The system clock on the taskbar sometimes stops updating and displays a time that is a few minutes behind the actual time. Clicking the clock to open the calendar pane usually forces it to refresh, but the problem reoccurs after a few hours. The issue persists even when both the Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically options are enabled.Is there a free way to get security updates for Windows 10 Home?
Im still using Windows 10 Home and don’t plan to upgrade to Windows 11 for the time being. I know mainstream support has ended, but if possible, I’d still like to continue receiving security updates. Is there an official, free way to keep receiving these updates, or do I have to pay to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program? Ive seen several different methods online, but Im not sure which ones are truly safe and legitimate.Fan suddenly becomes extremely loud

My touchpad randomly stops responding during use, making it difficult to navigate. I have to restart my laptop to fix the issue, and it happens frequently, affecting my productivity and causing frustration.

External monitor isn't detected
My external monitor is not detected by my Windows 11 laptop when connected via HDMI, and the screen remains blank with no signal. I have tried different cables, ports, and updating graphics drivers, but the second display still does not appear in display settings or device manager.
What are some good web protection options for Windows 11?
Ive recently noticed that Microsoft Defender doesnt seem to provide the kind of network protection I was expecting, and Windows even points this out in its security settings. The links provided there don’t seem to lead to anything useful in the Microsoft Store either. So, I d like to know what network protection tools everyone is actually using on Windows 11. Does Microsoft recommend a specific service, or is it better to use a third-party security product like Bitdefender?
What do you think of my Windows setup so far?
I’ve been playing around with my Windows setup lately and decided to give it a bit more personality. I installed Snoop and Fastfetch and made a few small changes to the overall look. I’m trying to keep it clean without going too far with customization, but I’m not sure if everything fits together yet. I’d love to hear what you guys think. Does it look good as it is, or would you change anything about the setup?Laptop wakes up from sleep for no obvious reason
My laptop keeps waking up from sleep mode randomly, even when the lid is closed and no peripherals are connected. This happens throughout the day and night, draining the battery significantly, and I have already disabled all wake timers and network wake-up settings without any improvement.
A device appears and disappears repeatedly in Device Manager
In Device Manager, a particular device continuously flickers in and out of existence, appearing and disappearing repeatedly every few seconds. This constant refresh cycle makes it impossible to install drivers or use the hardware, and the non-stop enumeration causes the Device Manager window to refresh incessantly, making it extremely difficult to interact with or diagnose the problematic component.Computer wakes from sleep at almost exactly the same time every day
My computer automatically wakes from sleep mode at the exact same time every day, around 3:00 AM, without any user interaction. I have checked the task scheduler but couldn't find any obvious tasks triggering this, and I need help identifying what is causing these daily wake-ups.How to Fix Windows 11 Running Slow and Speed Up Your PC
If your Windows 11 PC has started feeling slow, you are not alone. A computer that once opened apps instantly can gradually become sluggish, take longer to start, freeze during everyday tasks, or struggle when multiple programs are running. The good news is that you do not always need to buy a new computer to fix the problem. Link to the postWindows Laptop randomly changes display resolution after reboot
My Windows laptop keeps resetting its display resolution to a lower setting every time I reboot, even though I set it back to the correct one. The screen becomes distorted and icons get rearranged, requiring me to manually change the resolution again each time after restart.
Laptop refuses to boot when a particular SD card is inserted
My laptop fails to boot properly whenever I insert a specific SD card into the card reader. It either gets stuck during startup or shows an error message, and removing the SD card allows the laptop to start normally. I need help troubleshooting this issue.Microsoft Store is broken
