Is anyone else's Windows 10 File History failing to update after the August/September updates?
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.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.
Cannot enrol in Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU)
Hello, I cannot enrol in Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU). I have Windows 10 version 22H2 installed, including KB5063709. OneDrive is installed. I have tried several times via: Open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update. I can get to the screen that says "Enrol in Extended Security Updates to stay protected", but after I press 'next', I get a blank window with a wheel of death. After about a minute the window dies. Via a chat with one of the Microsoft support channels the problem may be relates to Windows Backup not working. I have tried several community articles to make this work, but cannot get it to work. I've also been told I need to go to Settings > Accounts > Windows Backup Make to make sure “Remember my apps” and “Remember my preferences” are turned on. but since I can't start Windows Backup, I cannot do this. Obviously with the deadline for registering for extended security deadlines approaching fast I am rather concerned... Please help.Backup Windows 10 to Microsoft Azure Backup
