The new button makes the backup process easier on Windows 10.

This button, when clicked by the user, launches OneDrive and the "Back up important PC folders to OneDrive" feature, allowing files in your user folders to always be synchronized with OneDrive.

Microsoft has not yet announced the new "Start backup" button on Windows 10, meaning it is being hidden from File Explorer. However, you can enable it on your Windows 10 PC by doing the following:

- Right-click the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select Settings.

- In the window that appears, select the About tab and enable the 'Get OneDrive Insider preview updates before release' option.

- Next, download Windows 10 update file KB5029331 at this address. After installing the update, install the latest version of the OneDrive app. Continue downloading the ViVeTool tool at this address. Then, extract into any folder.

- Run Command Prompt as administrator, type CD C:vive (where C:vive is the folder path containing ViveTool that you just extracted).

- Continue typing the command vivetool /enable /id:40950986 and press Enter. Then restart your computer and you will get a new 'Start Backup' button for Windows 10.

Type the command to execute ViVeTool and activate the Start Backup button.

Currently, many users stick with Windows 10 because of its familiarity, but the lack of major changes has caused a lot of controversy. Small improvements like the aforementioned Windows Backup and File Explorer apps will make using the old operating system a little more convenient.
