Windows 10: Correct procedure to renew OneDrive in a longtime unused computer

Hello,I recently had a bad experience with OneDrive syncing from computer which was not used for two years. Apart from crashes, etc., the computer also made a big mess to my folders as it uploaded a lot of older files and created previously deleted folders, etc... ignoring any changes I made on other computers in the meantime and also creating syncing issues, etc.In the end I had to make a new clean install of that computer, completely.So I am now preparing to return to my country after over three years, as I stayed during pandemic in another country.I have an old PC there, which I shall open,

:)

 

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.

Hello Francis,

Doing the steps below to install the latest version of OneDrive may be able to help.

1. Download and install the latest version of OneDrive that's rolling out with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After your computer restarts, select the Start button, search for “OneDrive”, and then select the OneDrive desktop app.

Windows 10 Upgrade "One or more protocols are missing on this computer"

Hi Lins,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to run the flushdns which will force the computer to clear the DNS cache and check if helps:

• 
  Press Windows key + r.
  
• 
  Type ipconfig /flushdns
  
• 
  Hit Enter
  

You can also follow the steps to reset Winsock. Then you can try release and renew IP address.

• 
  Press Windows + X and select command prompt(admin)
  
• 
  Enter this command netsh winsock reset
  
• 
  Restart the computer
  

To release ip address and renew ip address you can try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + X and select
  command prompt(admin).
  
• 
  Enter this command ipconfig/ release then hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Enter this command to renew the ip address ipconfig / renew then hit Enter.
  

Hope this information is helpful.
