    Onedrive no longer starting at reboot / cannot uninstall or reinstall


    I noticed a few days ago that my Onedrive files were not being synced. I then noticed that the Onedrive icon is missing from my taskbar. Onedrive is still in the startup list. I've done some research and tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth but that failed with a message that source could not be found. I have a downloaded install for Onedrive so I tried that. It fails with "onedrive is already installed". I went to add or remove programs and I see Onedrive has an install date of 1/18/2020. I assume that was an automatic update and that must be when onedrive quit working? The manage option is greyed. I click "uninstall". I get the pop up "the app and it's related info will be uninstalled". I click uninstall. A message comes up "uninstalling" then the display goes back to where it was showing Onedrive with the uninstall option. So the uninstall seems to be failing as well.
    Onedrive shows 19.222.1110.0006 which I assume is the version.
    Windows 10.0.17763

  2. Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Try these steps out and let me know how it goes:

    • Right-click Start button, choose Run
    • Type appwiz.cpl and click OK
    • Find "Microsoft OneDrive" in the list and uninstall it
    • Restart your computer
    • Go to the
      OneDrive Download Page here
      and click the "need to reinstall?" link on the page to get the new installer
    • Let me know if the installer has any trouble this time
