Hello everyone, I have a question about Windows 11 File History.
After updating my laptop to KB5101684, I modified a file today and confirmed that it was successfully saved.
However, after opening "File History" and clicking "Execute Now," the backup time still shows yesterday's (2026/7/28), not today's date.
I have confirmed the following:
The backup drive (D drive) is properly connected.
File History is enabled.
The File History Service is started and running normally.
The backup location is set to the D drive.
The modified files and images were indeed backed up to:
D:\FileHistory\user\LAPTOP-GJTRIQFJ\Data\C\Users\user
However, in the "Restore Profile" section of File History, I don't see the new version date after today's modification.
Additionally, I found that if I go to:
Control Panel → All Console Items → File History → Select Drive → Select D Drive again
and then re-specify the same backup drive, then perform the backup, the update works normally; unlike before the update, where simply clicking "Execute Now" would create a new backup version.
To add, I didn't change any File History settings or delete any related files or system folders before this problem occurred, so I suspect the problem started appearing after installing KB5101684.
I would like to ask everyone:
Is this a normal phenomenon?
Could it be related to the Windows 11 update KB5101684?
Does this indicate a possible anomaly in the File History database, settings, or related services?
Currently, the original files can be opened, modified, and saved normally, and the backup drive is connected normally. I'm just worried that the File History isn't creating a new version correctly, so I want to confirm if further action is needed.
Do you have any suggested troubleshooting methods, such as re-establishing the file history settings, checking related services, or other repair methods?
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello 林宗昇,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
I wouldn't say that this is a normal phenomenon, and you should probably raise this to the Feedback Hub app to notify the engineering team about it. And yes, this could be update related.
However, I'd like to make sure of something before moving on. May I know aside from the date, does the actual content in the file affected?
I'm waiting for your reply.
Hello 林宗昇,
As of now, I haven't seen any other reports about it. However, if the file content doesn't get affected, which means this is only a mismatch in sync. So it should be fine for now. You could submit the issue to the Feedback Hub to let them be aware of this.
I've already posted it, but no one has replied yet; only 13 people have seen it.
I contacted Microsoft support; they said the problem is with this update.
Hopefully, a security patch in August will fix it.
I didn't change any settings; it suddenly became like this.
