I’m with Caite on this one, I ended up having to re-migrate the content while deliberately making sure absolutely nothing else was migrated beyond the files and their versions. No customized forms/views, no required features, etc.

I resolve this issue by reset the DispForm.aspx page using SharePoint Designer.

- Open SharePoint Designer go to lyour site

- Click Lists and Libraries

- Click on your list or library

- on the right side, under forms, click New to create new DispForm.aspx and set at default

you might have to rename this page or just rename the old DispForm.apsx for this to work

* rename by Click All Files on the left, then click your library, click Forms, the rename the file

- That's all this should restore your view history
