OneDrive Personal Vault need help cannot get fix the sync issues

HI Guys
This is a great written tutorial but does not match my issues.
I have for some reason on one of my Pc's constant error about not opening my Persoanl Vault things are not synced, this is crap.
I only have 3 small files to test it but even had it open all day it keeps saying it needs openeing.
All my other PC's do not even show it but it is setup on them. I have tried removing from folder sync but that is not allowed.
I cannot get rid of it i have tried removing files adding them back but same error.

I like the idea but Onedrive really just seems to struggle with syncing.
Any ideas how to sort this personal fault issue out? PLEASE

I'm seeing this on a Reddit thread:

"OneDrive engineer here.

What that means is that your Vault got locked, but there are files in the Vault that did not finish syncing to the cloud.

To fix:

Unlock your Personal Vault on your Windows PC.
Allow the files to finish syncing and uploading. Then lock the Vault.
If there are files in error after unlocking your Vault, resolve those errors first.

(You can temporarily move the files out of OneDrive as a last resort, then copy them back in.)"

But apparently that's not working for everyone:

Same issue here. I don't have that many files in my vault. I unlock it and verify that they are up to date. As soon as the vault locks again, onedrive spits this red error out EVERY TIME."


I tried Personal Vault, but Disabled It after I soon realized it had a 3 file limit without a subscription to '365'.

Hi
I have Office 363 so it not an issue.
I have just removed the files put them in temp folder and disabled PV.
Got rid of error but i do notice OnrDrive keeps saying synced but then start processinh 1293 files over and over again.
I have nothing open seems to be in a loop of always checking and checking

Disabled via that Tutorial Link?

If you haven't already, and worth a shot, start and stop OneDrive and/ or Restart the computer.

Hi
Just watch what i mean here

I'm just a user of OneDrive so consider the source.. ;o)

Hmm...

And you removed the files first from PV then Disabled it Online you said.

Hmm.

There's this '/reset' switch you can run:

SOLVED: How To Reset OneDrive – Stuck Processing Changes

HI
I get an error
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.572](c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\WINDOWS\system32>%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset'C:\Users\daleh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I had to work out the pat and now i have reset it fingers crossed thank for help.

(I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd necro-post in case my solution is helpful for others stumbling across it.)

I had the same problem with the constant "Personal Vault" sync issues. Turned out it was caused by illegal characters in filenames -- not just in the vault, but anywhere in my OneDrive space.

Due to Microsoft's bizarre cloud filing system, these characters -- that are quite acceptable in Windows -- are illegal on OneDrive or Sharepoint:

• tilde ('~')

• hash/pound ('#')

• percent ('%')

• ampersand ('&')

• any name starting '~$'

To play safe, I also removed any commas (',').

Windows 10 had quite happily let me copy files to OneDrive that broke these rules, so it took a lot of search-and-replace to sort this out. Once I did, the error went away.
