I get it to work by disabling system protection or by deleting the config files and all original FileHistory files, which lasted a few hours before it stopped backing up files automatically and even me backing them up manually by clicking the "Back up now" button. This is the error I get in event viewer:
Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration
C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config
I'm the latest version of Windows 10 with all updates, the FileHistory backs up to a external USB 3.0 hard drive, the system restore poiints save to the C drive naturally. Please someone help this is annoying as hell, I noticed it stopped working on the 1st of this month and has been constantly a pain!
I disabled system protection and now it started working, for 2 hours! Now it's giving the same error in the logs:
Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config
Latest Windows 10 updates, excluding the optional 2020-07 Cumulative Update Preview (KB4568831)
It should be noted I don't have a C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config
folder or location I do have a
C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration
Location with these 6 files in it
