Hello everyone, on my new laptop I'm working on setting up Windows File History. I'm facing an issue when trying to select a particular folder for backup—specifically the '2021' folder doesn't show up in the list. Only main folders like Desktop, Documents, Video, and Pictures are being added. I tried excluding Documents, but it was very time-consuming and caused problems by backing up unrelated files. Could someone help fix this? Thanks!

I stopped using Microsoft's official backup tools a while back because of too many limitations. This isn’t what you were seeking, but consider trying FBackup: https://www.fbackup.com/ It’s easy to set up and offers many features even on the free version.
