There is problem with file history logging after the recent Windows updates (KB5101684 / KB5121003)

Hi everyone,

This is not spam, I did not spam the site. It appeared after the update. I hope Microsoft can resolve this issue, and I also hope other users experiencing the same problem can reply to me. Please, please.

Ever since the latest Windows updates (specifically around KB5101684 / KB5120249 on Windows 11 Build 26200/Windows 10 Build 19045), The File History feature is almost unusable for me; although it works, the problem only occurs after an update.

 

Symptoms:

The "Last Backup" time in File History is not updating correctly.

Newly created or saved Word documents, images, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Content → Previous Versions".

The Correct folder's date is automatically changed.

 

System details:

OS: Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.9278)

OS: Windows 10 22H2 (Build 19045.7663)

Recent Updates Installed: KB5120998, KB5120249, KB5101684.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with recent Windows updates? Currently, the only solution is to go to Control Panel → All Console Items → File History → Select Drive → Select D: drive again. After completing this step, File History will return to normal.

This is a post I made. Other users who have experienced the same thing left comments below.
