I can't select my external drive for copies in File history

Hello,

I am trying to activate File History feature in windows 10, but I can not because Its says than No drive found that can be used. But I have attached a external USB HDD and I have another internal HDD, in addition of my windows system SSD drive. I cannot select neither the external nor internal HDD. I think that when installed windows 10, some weeks ago, I could select either the internal or external HDD, but now, I can`t. Any solution?.

Hi Pilovar

Here is the forum's tutorial on File History.

Select Drive for File History in Windows 10


At the end of the tutorial are related tutorials. The first being "Reset File History to Default in Windows 10". This may clear the error you experiencing.

Thanks, I did it ant not working.

If I connect a new usb pendrive, I can select it and activate file history on it. But in my two HDD, usb and internal, not.

If you plug these devices in can you access them outside of file history.

Will file explorer access them. Can you create a txt file on the drive?

Maybe post a screen shot from disk management, could help a member identify what is wrong.

I can use the disks normally, except file history, are F: and G: (C: and E: are a in a SSD partitioned)



G: is an internal SATA HDD.
F: is a external USB HDD.

Yes, I run reset file as admin.

It says that no drive found that can be used. Search or add drive not found anything.
