On Windows 10 I managed to configure a “File History” for just one folder, keeping old versions if changes occurred. I refer to it as “File History,” though it might have been a different option. This is helpful for games with single overwriting saves. On Windows 11 I can only turn on history for “Libraries,” and now it saves them to an external drive rather than keeping them in the recycle bin. Am I overlooking something, or is this a feature Microsoft removed to push cloud usage?
