File History Backup only shows one Drive C:
My file history backup only does my C: drive. I have no choice to do my D: drive. My old Windows 10 PC would let me select anything on my D: drive. I backup to an external USB 3.0 SSD.

Yeah, that’s a known quirk in Windows 11 — File History now only supports C: (user folders). If you want to back up your D: drive too, you’ll need to use Backup and Restore (System Image) or a third-party tool like Macrium Reflect to include all drives.
