HOW TO GET FILE HISTORY RECONNECTED IN WINDOWS 10 AND CORTANA AND MS EDGE
Exact same problem I'm having. It's alright for them to say go here and do this. Most of us already have and this is a last resort.
I have a Toshiba, windows 8.1 and for years now I cant connect a USB or Disc to use file History.
So Frustrating.
I've even paid Techs to do it and they can't work it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same problem with no history....I never could find a solution, so I just ignore it, as well.
