OneDrive missing from Windows Explorer navigation pane

When I first cleaned installed Windows 10 v1809 on my machine I applied a Group Policy setting for OneDrive to Prevent the Usage of OneDrive for File Storage to ENABLED. Of course, that would remove the OneDrive from the left side navigation pane within Windows File Explorer. But now, I set the Group Policy back to NOT CONFIGURED, rebooted the machine and the OneDrive is still missing from the the left side of the Windows File Explorer navigation pane as shown in my image. I even performed the command GPUPDATE /FORCE.

My laptop is a standalone, not part of a Domain.

I tried all the things listed from the article below but with no luck. I also was able to sign in with my OneDrive account and that was all fine and OneDrive appeared on the File Explorer pane. But once I UNLINKED my account from OneDrive, the OneDrive was still missing.

Even if no Group Policies are set, and even NOT signing into OneDrive, by default, the OneDrive icon should still appear on the left side navigation pane when launching Windows File Explorer.

And suggestions?

My guess is to recreate my user profile, but I don't really want to do that now.

Yes, I did start the app again and when I sign in to my OneDrive account using this app, OneDrive is there in the navigation pane in File Explorer. But when I Unlink or Sign-out from my account, its not there anymore.

OneDrive should be there even if users dont use the OneDrive app.

Its probably the Group Policy setting that caused this to happen in which I set it back to NOT CONFIGURED.

The problem now, is that OneDrive is still not present in the Navigation Pane when I open Windows Fiile Explorer.

Don’t see it. Please post a n image.

Right click in the Navigation Pane...

I logged onto my Admin account and noticed that OneDrive folder showed up there when I launched Windows Explorer and would indicate that the issue was not a computer-wide issue. So I re-created my user profile and OneDrive now appears on the Navigational Pane in Windows File Explorer. Thanks for all the help.
