Windows 11 22H2 [Error]: Previous Versions doesn't work

Hi everyone

After upgrading windows 11 22H2, Previous Versions tab on Windows Explorer (right mouse button Folder/File/Drive > Properties > Previous Versions tab) shows nothing, only "There are no previous versions available" although I can see my old ones with ShadowExplorer.  At the same time, I install new Windows 11 22H2 on Virtual Machine and there is still the same error. Of course, I enabled services, system protection already. Also, tried disabling then enabling system protection. Anyone has an idea? 

Thank you.

    shinryuken Same here.

    Using ShadowCopyView, but in the previous version tab of the drive or folders there's the "There are no previous versions available" msg.

    And manually I also cannot open the shadow copies in directly in the explorer.

    I always used the task scheduler to create my shadow copies, this is frustrating.

    Did you manage to get it solved somehow?

      No, until now with some Microsoft update packages, the problem is still there. But somehow, it is good when this function doesn't delete/overwrite the oldest/whole versions automatically athough the space for System Protection drive is still set/free a lot.
