Two days prior, Microsoft accidentally released a Windows 10 build to Windows Insiders. This build originated from RS_Edge_Case Lab, which was not stable enough for use even as an Insider build. However, many users were successful in installing this build. As this build was an internal build, there are some features that were added or removed, which are still not publicly available. One of the things was missing File History, the newer backup feature introduced in Windows 10.
This feature was intended to be a successor to the Backup and Restore function introduced in Windows 7, which was a quite handy and easy-to-use feature.
h0x0d, a known user on Twitter found the same and the following tweet was posted:

It is unclear that missing file history would be introduced as a replacement for this, but many 3rd party software’s do the same things efficiently as well.
