Microsoft has resolved a critical issue that disabled the Windows File History backup feature following the September 2026 security updates. The bug affected select systems and prevented automatic file backups.
The File History feature, which automatically backs up user files to an external drive or network location, stopped functioning after users installed the latest security patches. Microsoft identified the problem and released a fix to restore the backup functionality.
File History is a core Windows backup tool that creates versions of files, allowing users to recover previous iterations if data is lost or corrupted. The outage left affected users without automatic backup protection during the interim period.
Users who experienced issues should download and install the latest updates to restore File History operations. Microsoft recommends verifying that backups are running normally after applying the fix.
This marks another in a series of post-patch issues Windows users have encountered, though Microsoft typically addresses critical functionality breaks within days of discovery.
