There is a problem with file history logging after the recent Windows update (KB5101684 / KB5121003)
Hello, I would like to inquire whether other Windows 10/11 users have encountered the same "File History" issue, and I also hope that the Microsoft technical team can seriously investigate this problem. Using Windows 11 25H2//Windows 10 22H2. File history worked correctly before installing KB5101684/KB5120249. In "Control Panel → All Console Items → File History", the "Last Backup" time was updated correctly whenever a file was successfully backed up to the D: drive. However, after installing KB5101684/KB5121003, the following issues arose: Files can still be backed up to the D: drive normally. The "Last Backup" time in "File History" cannot be updated correctly. Newly created or saved Word documents, images, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Properties → Previous Versions." There is no folder to edit; its date is changed automatically. Even more worryingly, my Windows 10 22H2 desktop PC also started experiencing similar file history synchronization issues after installing KB5120249 on August 12, 2026. Before the update, I never deleted system folders, login files, or messed with settings. I never...

They said they would review the case and include me in the list of users with the same problem. 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 past month has been very frustrating for me. It's not that I like to ramble, but I've genuinely encountered problems after updating. I want to ask Microsoft: after updating my laptop and desktop to KB5101684 and KB5120249, I'm experiencing issues with file history: Files can still be backed up to the D drive normally. 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". I haven't modified some folders; please change the modification dates yourself. Both updates state, "This update fixes an issue that affects File History automatic backups to network shares using Server Message Block (SMB). Backups did not work because Windows showed a false 'invalid credentials' error when connecting to SMB shares." I didn't expect the update to cause this problem; dozens of users have reported the same issue. Microsoft, please investigate and fix this. When will it be fixed?

Next, go to Settings > System > Storage, turn off File History, and then re-add drive D as the backup destination. This method still did not work.

This is my question: Win 10/11 file history is malfunctioning after an update why hasn't Microsoft fixed this issue yet? | Microsoft Community Hub I've already reported and inquired about this issue through the Windows 10 Feedback Center, but haven't received any response yet. I've also spoken with live customer service multiple times, and they said file history records are unrelated to these two updates. I even told customer service that other users have encountered the same problem, and they said they would escalate my issue to Microsoft's higher management. I've been in a really bad mood this past month. my feedback hub: https://aka.ms/AA13ck4e I don't know how to fix computers. I hope Microsoft can confirm and fix this.

Hi everyone, I am writing to report a major regression bug with File History that was introduced in the recent Windows updates. This is happening across two entirely different machines with no settings changed, no system files modified, and no registry tweaks applied. The Issue: Windows 11 25H2 > after installing KB5101684 (July 29, 2026) Windows 10 22H2 > after installing KB5120249 (August 12, 2026) On both PCs backing up to a local drive (D:), the underlying files are actually being written to the drive, but the File History interface is completely broken: TheLast Backup time stamp in Control Panel frozen and fails to update automatically. In File Explorer, right-clicking new files > Properties> Previous Versions shows There are no previous versions available, making daily time-travel restoration impossible. Temporary Workaround: The only way to force it to sync is to go to Control Panel > File History > Select Drive, and re-select the D: drive again. This proves the backup engine works, but the automatic scheduling and catalog syncing are completely frozen by these updates. Please Help Upvote on Feedback Hub: I have already submitted this issue via the Feedback Hub but have received no official response yet. Since File History is critical for users who prefer local offline backups over OneDrive, we need to bring this to Microsoft’s attention immediately so they can patch it in the next cumulative update.

Hello everyone, I have a question about Windows 11 File History. After updating my laptop to KB5101684, I modified a file today and confirmed that it was successfully saved. However, after enabling "File History" and clicking "Execute Now," the backup time still shows yesterday's date (2026/7/28), not today's. I have confirmed the following: The backup drive D is properly connected. File History is enabled. The File History Service is started and running normally. The backup location is set to drive D. The modified files and images were indeed backed up to:D:\FileHistory\user\LAPTOP-GJTRIQFJ\Data\C\Users\user However, in the "Restore Profile" section of File History, I don't see the new version date after today's modification. Additionally, I found that if I go to: Control Panel → All Console Items → File History → Select Drive → Select D drive again Newly created or saved Word documents, images, videos, etc., will still show "No previous version available" in "Content → Previous Versions". and then re-specify the same backup drive, then perform the backup, the update works normally; unlike before the update, where simply clicking "Execute Now" would create a new backup version. Furthermore, before this problem occurred, I did not change any File History settings, nor did I delete any related files or system folders, so I suspect the problem only started appearing after installing KB5101684. I would like to ask everyone: Is this a normal phenomenon? Could it be related to the Windows 11 update KB5101684? Does this indicate a possible anomaly in the File History database, settings, or related services? Has anyone else encountered the same situation after updating KB5101684? Currently, the original files can be opened, modified, and saved normally, and the backup drive is connected normally. I'm just worried that the File History isn't creating a new version correctly, so I want to confirm if further action is needed. Do you have any suggested troubleshooting methods, such as re-establishing the file history settings, checking related services, or other repair methods? Thank you for your assistance!
Corrupted VT+ transaction files
We are a small accounting company using VT+ Transaction on a local drive synchronized with OneDrive for backup and file storage. A few days ago when we tried to open the application, we suddenly started receiving the following error messages: Run Time Error 0 and Run Time Error 440, and the program does not start. According to VT+ support the program files are corrupted and the data can only be restored up to the year 2022, as the more recent backups are also affected. Somehow the system is overriding our backups, which makes the latest ones unusable. Any advice what could cause that and how to resolve the issue. ThanksTech Community Live: Windows edition

Windows OneDrive folder and file properties
Hello I use Windows 10. All the files in the OneDrive folder has the green checkmark. 1. Are the files with the green checkmark both in a local OneDrive folder and in the OneDrive online cloud? 2. If I "Unlink this PC" - what happens to all the files with the green checkmark? They are kept in the OneDrive online cloud? They are deleted from the local OneDrive folder? 3. If I download a file from OneDrive online browser then the files "Modified" date is being updated - bad. If I copy a file from the OneDrive folder in Windows to another local folder, then the "Modified" date is unchaged - good. I have only tried this on the same computer. But what if there is 2 computers: Computer 1 copy file A to the Windows OneDrive folder. Computer 2 (another computer) copies file A from Windows OneDrive folder to another local folder - is the "Modified" date unchanged or updated? I know the "Created" and "Accessed" dates are being updated / new when copying file A. Thank youPreventing and recovering from accidental deletion of an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server
