Default File History

I was using Windows 10 File History to back up my data, and was happy
with it.

When I updated to Windows 10 / 1903, it turned of the File History.
Several weeks later when I found it was off, I tried to turn in on and
got an error code.

In trying work around the error I turned on Window 7 back up and restore
started. I decided to try to use it, but do not like it as I can not
EASILY access the backed up files from file Explorer.

I tried to cancel the Windows 7 back up, but now File History does not
seem to be working even though I got it turned on

Can some one help to get File History working again and rid of he
Windows 7 backup.

You must have disabled Activities from the settings panel. Microsoft
wants people to use TimeLine but you need to enable it by going to
settings and it is under Privacy Activity History.

I could post the image here but you or other idiots won't see it so I
don't want to waste anybody's time!!.

File History worked here.

It was likely off before the Upgrade.

And just switching it on and not customizing it, worked.
About 5GB of files copied so far.

I find that a system update (W10 home 1903) involving a restart switches off the automatic back up.
I have to do a "back up now" for normal service to be resumed.
