Onedrive problems

Onedrive is installed on my system but has stopped working as of today. It will not start at boot nor will the icon appear on the taskbar so that I may access the settings.

Try reinstalling it:
Download Microsoft OneDrive
and see

and post how you get on.

Turn on or off will not work if the icon is not on the Taskbar.


Tried to Reinstall OneDrive but it says that a newer version is already installed.!!

This is a goofy problem that pops up on 1803 from time to time.

Go to your appdata, this path:

C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\Update. The XXXXXX is your user name.

Look for the .exe called OneDriveSetup. Click it to run it. It will say "Setting up first use" or something to that effect. It's not, it's just getting itself ready. Than your taskbar icon should be there and all working. Give it a try.



You may need to set "Show hidden folders" to get to appdata......

I had the same problem 10 days ago Onedrive tray icon has disappeared
In my case the fix was to find C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\18.091.0506.0003 and run OneDriveSetup.exe from this folder.
I had 2 similarly numbered folders, and one of them gave me the "newer version" message, but the other one worked.

Sorry, @skcusime ... think we were posting at the same time.

Being called for dinner...... will check back in a bit......

Thanks @f14tomcat.

Your link did the trick and I checked the Settings to automatically start at boot (twice this setting has unchecked itself in 2 weeks).

When I restart the system, It does not start up automatically. I must run OneDrive manually for the icon to reappear.

You welcome. Glad that worked for you.
