A Reddit user discovered this trick by chance, which opens the Windows 10 File Explorer in Windows 11.

You can use File Explorer in two different ways to open Computer Management. First, open the File Explorer window (click on the Folder icon in your taskbar) and navigate to This PC in the left panel.

Restart the computer. Open File Explorer (Win + E) and open the Documents, Pictures, Videos, or Music folders to see the new "Start Backup" button on the "Home" tab of the ribbon.

If File Explorer keeps restarting on your Windows 11/10 PC, modify the BannerStore registry key, disable suspicious shell extensions, run antivirus, etc.
