Ever since the Windows 11 update (specifically the Windows 11 version 22H2 update), it seems like the Windows 7 back-up no longer works. It just hangs up/freezes at 97%, with no improvements. I tried every other option, but the problem still persists. I'm not sure if this is an issues with this specific update, or just Windows 11 in general.

Windows 7 Backup is only included in Windows 10 and 11 to transfer files over from Windows 7. It is way too old to work relaibly for regular backup.
The built-in Backup for Windows 10 and 11 is File HIstory. Here is how to set up and use FIle History:
