The File History log still has problems after the KB5126657 update.
After updating my Windows 10 22H2 desktop computer to KB5126657, I'm still having problems with the file history log. Although I successfully back up to the D drive, after editing and saving the archive, clicking the Execute Now button under Control Panel > System and Security > Archive History fails to update the last copied date and time to the actual latest save time. For newly created files (such as Word files), File Properties > Previous Versions displays: No previous versions are available. The contents of older files do not display the latest timestamp version; only the date and time of the previous version are shown. A new entity version of the file has been created without modification. When attempting to perform the Clear Versions function, the system immediately displays the error message Element not found. If you're still using Windows 10, tell me and submit your question to the feedback center.KB5124010 File History still has problems.
To the Microsoft engineering team I can confirm that File History worked perfectly prior to KB5101684, but following that update and the subsequent KB5124010 / KB5120249 updates, File History has suffered severe synchronization failures—the backup timestamp remains frozen, new and updated files fail to generate Previous Versions, and attempting to Clear Versions triggers an Element not found error; this issue has been reported by users and tech outlets globally, and Microsoft Support agent Vensky has confirmed the engineering team is actively investigating it, so I strongly urge Microsoft to release a resolution in the October 13 Security Patch—if you are experiencing this same issue, please submit a report on Feedback Hub and post your link below to help raise awareness for a speedy fix! This case has been continuously tracked through the Microsoft Technical Support Project (09/23–10/10, specialists Vensky et al.) and Feedback Hub. We hope that the Microsoft Windows Feature Engineering team will pay attention to the core bug in this backup mechanism and release a hotfix as soon as possible.

Hi everyone,Since installing the KB5120249 update on August 11th, my Windows 10 (version 22H2) has been experiencing an issue where File History can find and run backups to my target drive (Drive D), but the last copy date and time of files remain unchanged, preventing any new or modified files from being backed up properly. The specific issues are as follows: Version and Timestamp Not Updating: The read and write functions of Drive D are working normally. Even after confirming that a file has been successfully saved, clicking the Run now button in Control Panel does not update the last backup timestamp or version time to the actual latest save time. Missing Previous Versions: In a file's Properties -> Previous Versions, modified or newly added files show past versions, but fail to display the latest update date. New versions are omitted as well, continuing to show No previous version available, which fails to reflect the latest changes. Strangely enough, the system sometimes backs up files even when they haven't been modified at all. I haven't changed anything on my end, and I haven't been able to successfully back up since the KB5122878 update on September 8th. I didn't mess with the settings; the problem occurred after the update. After the recent KB5124010 update in Windows 11, the file history can find and run backup drives, but the last copy date of the files remains unchanged, and any new files can be backed up. I suspect the problem persists after KB5101684 on July 29th. Is anyone else still experiencing this issue? On September 23rd, I contacted Microsoft Support to report this File History glitch caused by recent updates (including subsequent impacts from the KB5124010 update). Several other users had also reported the same problem. Two days later, Microsoft Support sent an email confirming that they were aware of the issue and were investigating.File History problems after installing KB5124008, KB5126052,KB5126146, KB5122878, and KB890830
This morning, I ran Windows Update on two Windows 10/11 computers, but the file history feature stopped working completely after the update. Previously, after updating KB5120249 and KB5101684, files could 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, pictures, videos, etc., still show "No previous version available" in "Content → Previous Versions". No folders were corrected; their dates are automatically updated. After running Windows Update again today, the file history feature stopped working on both computers. The File History panel pops up but cannot be used, prompting for a hard drive connection. (The hard drive is connected and I've confirmed it can read and write.) resulting in an "InconsistentState" entry in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration. I'm very angry. If Microsoft doesn't address this, I'll keep complaining. If anyone else has encountered the same situation, please leave a comment below. You can also check Microsoft Q&A or the Microsoft Community Hub. The five updates installed are: September 8, 2026—KB5122878 (OS Builds 19045.7725 and 19044.7725) September 8, 2026-KB5126146 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2 2026-09 Security Update (KB5124008) (26200.9445) 2026-09 .NET Framework Security Update (KB5126052) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.145 (KB890830) Deleting the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory folder also failed. Furthermore, "File History" itself is not listed in Microsoft's "Deprecated Features List." While other backup features suggest that Microsoft has no plans to discontinue it. Microsoft is going to pretend it doesn't exist. These worked normally before the update but stopped working afterward. This is to inform other users experiencing the same problem.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.

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.

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.

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?

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. Thanks
