File History doesn't work: What components do I need to keep to use it?

[PhsMu]

Exactly what it says on the tin: I want to use that feature, but while I have the icon on the Control Panel, nothing happens when I click it.

Or if someone else has a way to create .wim images from inside the running system, for backup purposes, that works too.

File history is related to tweaks, upload your preset to take a look or check the page Settings, use the search for 'file' or 'history' word.

Here is some (partial) info about capturing wim images

Here it is. I'm sysprepping because of an update, and Office breaking when I remove useless fonts.

I do it in parts to integrate NetFramework Updates. I think I forgot a few services deactivated that I shouldn't.

Had to redo the last one because of my Product Key. Sorry but it took a while.

Now, what is the "Reg Adjustments 8.reg" file content?

I see nothing that could disable the file history.

@PhsMu, confirmed, it's the "Encrypting File System (EFS)" component, will move the "File History" under it so the dependency is more clear. Please keep it next time.

Thanks.

Thanks Nuhi.

@Kasual: for completion's sake, Here is the RegAdjustments8 file, just some minor tweaks (I had tried without them before replying, that's why it took so long):
