    OneDrive Explorer green checkmarks missing


    The green check mark overlay icons for OneDrive Explorer folders are missing. Below, how they should look...

    OneDrive has been uninstalled and reinstalled. The PC has been rebooted. Sync is working fine.

    There are no folders for OneDrive (or any other app) listed under this registry key...

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdent ifiers
    (On another PC there are seven OneDrive folders shown under that key, and two additional folders.)

    How can the overlay check marks be restored?

    They show when the offline folder syncs with the cloud folder.

    Yup, that's the theory, but not the reality. Sync is working, just not the green check mark overlays. Thanks.

    This happens to me at times and its not due to other programs stealing the ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers limited slots.

    The fix.


    ========================================================================================


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive1]@="{BBACC218-34EA-4666-9D7A-C78F2274A524}"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive2]@="{5AB7172C-9C11-405C-8DD5-AF20F3606282}"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive3]@="{A78ED123-AB77-406B-9962-2A5D9D2F7F30}"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive4]@="{F241C880-6982-4CE5-8CF7-7085BA96DA5A}"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive5]@="{A0396A93-DC06-4AEF-BEE9-95FFCCAEF20E}"


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\ OneDrive6]@="{9AA2F32D-362A-42D9-9328-24A483E2CCC3}"


    ========================================================================================


    Copy/Paste ALL the above (inside the double-lines not including them) into Notepad and SAVE as ANY-NAME-YOU-LIKE.REG

    Still sick of fixing this regularly, not sure what causes it.
