  1. Can't open the Documents file


    Hello, today when I tried to open my "Documents" folder a window popped up after 5 seconds asking me for my login and password to d.docs.live.net. I do not know what happened, because everything was woking fine before that. I have uninstalled OneDrive app from my PC a few months ago, but there is still a "OneDrive" folder on my PC in which there is a "Documents" file. Could that be the problem? Also I created a test Windows profile or account and I can easily access the Documents file by just clicking on it. No problems there. So it seems to be a user/account issue. What could cause that? Ho

    :)
