How can i get my back up drive to connect back with MS HOME Windows and have my files recognizwd agian ? I see them through explorer, but i canniot get the drive to work with the utility since the back KB update MS put out in Sept. I am now on the the latest Home Edition 25H2 build 26200.9711 and have done all the latest updates and done an OS repair install.

Hi W,
Since you’ve already gone through the update, repair install, and reconnection steps, as a next step, please check Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application after reproducing the problem and share any FileHistory.exe or KERNELBASE.dll error details you find. These are specifically mentioned as useful diagnostic information in the existing guidance.
Please keep the backup drive intact while investigating so the existing versions remain available.
i added some info up top. also i did what you suggested if ive done it properly - file is attached. i also jave some screenshot of what happens when i try to select drive ( D ) and the latest update thats is showing. But im pretty sure i have later ones that dont show. Also will not let me back up to drive. Says its copying files, but it doesnt.
