File History: Element Not Found Error on Windows 10 May 2004

Using Windows 10 May 2004 edition with a brand new install of File History on two different machines now, I have managed to run into the following issue.

Selecting Clean up versions, then "Clean up":

I get the following dialog:

Again, this is on two different machines, with a clean install.

Note that I am using a simple folder with a 4KB file within it, although I first saw this on a fully-configured install with about 1.5TB worth of data within it.  This led me to diagnosing the issue and ultimately trying it on these two separate machines with a clean install.

Is this a known issue for 2004?

Thank you for any assistance/context/insight you can provide!

    Wow, lucky. 😆  Might be due to creating the File History on 2004, then?

    As for insider, I inadvertently "joined" it not realizing that I could not unjoin it.  The machine I am trying this on is 2004.  That is, I do not believe I am running Insider, but only a member.  This is what I see:

    The other machine/account I tried this on with 2004 is not an insider account.

    Are you running an insider version of Windows as the feedback mentions insider?

    It hasn’t been confirmed by Microsoft so it it’s happening to other users I would send Microsoft feedback.

    Windows key + F.

    I’ll let you know once my Macrium backup has finished.
