File History Does Not Work

There is indeed a simple fix: Replace c:\windows32\fhcfg.dll with the version before KB4601319. If you don't have it, you can download it from https://bhpark.dk/fhcfg.dll.
I use newest version of fhcfg.dkk in normal day to day work. When I need to backup, I replace it with the older version, takes the backup and restores the newest version again. And some day - by a pure miracle - I don't need the fix any more :-)

Okay.  How do you "simply" change this DLL whenever you want.  I had a quick search around to find a simple way and can't see it.  Thanks for the help.

Open a command prompt as Administrator. While in c:\windows\system32, rename fhcfg.dll to fhcfg.dll.bak, copy the pre KB4601319  fhcfg.dll to system 32 and reboot.

After reboot, the fhcfg.dll.bak can be deleted, although I recommend that you keep it for future use where you can restore it using the same rename/copy/reboot technique.

Hi- sorry but I'm missing something here with cmd in Administrative privilege: please provide step-by-step instructions for: "Open a command prompt as Administrator. While in c:\windows\system32, rename fhcfg.dll to fhcfg.dll.bak, copy the pre KB4601319  fhcfg.dll to system 32 and reboot.

Rename function proclaims "Access is denied". Why is this happening?

How does one "copy the pre KB4601319  fhcfg.dll to system 32" with the file downloaded from the download URL you've so graciously provided please?

Yeah, Redmond won't own this one. Rather criminal IMHO- selling/"supporting" (notice the quotations) goods that do not perform as promised.

Hi, Everyone.

I have taken the precaution of making a new system image with that old Windows 7 back-up interface and have started saving important stuff on One Drive as well manually on an external hard disk.

But it would definitely be reassuring to have the issue resolved by Microsoft.

Regards.

I have the exact same problem. [snip] Rolling back KB4601319 corrected the issue.

Unfortunately, I can see the KB4601319 in the update history, but not in the "uninstall Updates" list :( 

So no chance to get that working for now. On my laptop, everything is fine, on the (under the) desktop just one user account is affected - the onlyone having admin privileges. Who else.

Thanks Microsoft for hopefully looking into thie very soon!

Okay.  Needed to take ownership away from the Trusted Installer.  Seems to work now.
