A ‘tip of the iceberg’ problem with RPV

A subscriber (requesting anonymity) wrote a very succinct note asking for help with a nonfunctioning file-recovery tool.

• “My PC’s ‘Restore previous versions’ is always empty, and it has been since I bought this Dell laptop two years ago. How do I get it turned on?”

An RPV failure is annoying in itself, but also and can be a symptom of much deeper problems — especially in Win10, where RPV is intimately linked with other recovery components.

Plus, Win7’s and Win10’s Restore previous versions (RPV) applets normally work in the background, so you might not notice even when they’ve failed!
