Ouch, especially since I have my suspicions that File History itself is slowly slipping into a 'cannot live cannot die' state, similar to Backup and Restore (Windows 7)

I never use timeline as some of my family use the pc's in the house as well and it mucks up what I am doing and visa versa

One can hope that File History develops into a TwoDrive so that users can sync their files to OneDrive (in the cloud) and/or TwoDrive (on earth) (y)(y)

Windows 10 Timeline is indispensable for me! CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME OF A 3RD PARTY UTILITY OR PROGRAM THAT GIVES this SAME functionality on Windows 11? I have to stay on OLD Windows 10 until I can find duplicate functionality some other way. It's bad to stay on an old version of windows, but what else can I do? PLEASE help me find how to get Timeline on Windows 11 so I can upgrade for free. HAVE TO HAVE THIS functionality.

Why? Timeline saves me so much time re-opening previously used files! I can't imagine anyone working without it, unless all you do is browse the internet, which I understand. But even then! Timeline shows a visual display of all your previous webpages, making it simple to go back to another page. Sure your browser can do that in a differrent way, but it's one click to Windows 10 Timeline! and you don't have to leave the browser page your on! Thanks in advance for any help, tips or suggestions.
