  • A bug in Windows 11’s September update broke File History
  • Microsoft admitted the backup feature was scuppered and has apparently now fixed it
  • However, the cure is in an optional update, so it might be best to wait for the full release of the upgrade next month

Microsoft has admitted that Windows 11 has a bug that messes up a backup feature in the OS, although a new optional update fixes it (but not quite fully).

Windows Latest reports what’s been a slightly odd tale in that the bug in File History has been kicking about since the September update first emerged over two weeks ago, but Microsoft didn’t acknowledge it — even though it was a widely reported issue.
