This is taken from a thread regarding File History issues in the Microsoft forum. It's worth reading as some users have found solutions that may also help you?In the end I renamed the File History folder under "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows" and hey presto, things were available and links working again.
Judging from the post I linked to I'd say you were right. Hopefully someone will post who has managed to solve this puzzle..It seems to be a common un-solved problem.
