Windows 10: Green checkmarks vs. OneDrive STATUS column, how to switch from one to another

Hi,


On my PC when I login into my PC with Microsoft account, I get an extra column STATUS in Windows Explorer, which shows nice little blue clouds and cute non-intrusive colored green icons when file is synced with OneDrive. As this is separate column, it is easy to distinguish status and file icon:



But when I change login type from MS Account to Local account, all these nice icons and whole column disapears, and instead of those we get those stupid green checkbox overlay over file icon, which covers half of icon and renders it unrecognizeable.
Also, as you can see, STATUS column shows nothing in this case, file icons are mixed with status checkboxes, and it is not clear what is what:





How can I switch to nice column-based status icon, and get rid of thosestupid green overlayed checkboxes?


BTW...I switched OFF from Microsoft login, because this stupid **** wants me to create NEW PRIVATE account and does not let me login with my MS partner business username. So I login to PC with some idiotic GMAIL or OUTLOOK private MS account, then on PC I have installed apps from MS Business class, and I am logged in my O365 apps with business account. And MS does not handle that, all over are sync errors, Office reports login errors upon every document I open, when I save docs again bunch of errors...so I switched back to local login, and everything went back to normal...EXCEPT those annoying OneDrive sync green checkboxes.

Green checkmarks missing in OneDrive for Business

Hi -

I'm a OneDrive for Business user, running Windows 10.

According to the blue icon in the taskbar, it appears that all my OneDrive files are in sync . However, when I look at the list of files in Microsoft Explorer, there are no green checks to confirm their synced status. I have followed advice in previous posts
on this problem, including this one from 2015:

The reason could be if the settings is disabled in registry. I suggest you to download Autoruns from the link below.Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals

Then follow the steps below.

• Eexecute the Autoruns and from the program look for the entries that say OneDrive1, OneDrive2 and OneDrive3 in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers.
• Check all three boxes. If you are asked to Run As Administrator (UAC), agree and continue.
• Start OneDrive again.
• Your folders will show the green checkmarks now.

It didn't work. There were no OneDrive entries under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers. (see screen shot below)

Any other advice please? I like to see the green checks there as proof that my files definitely are in the cloud. I don't really want to mess around with the registry again as I'm way out of my depth.

Thanks.

 

OneDrive Green Checkmarks (icon overlays) disappeared

That's what it should look like in "Details" view below.

If you like, go ahead and post a screenshot showing what it looks like for you to see if anything may stand out.

 

OneDrive Green Checkmarks (icon overlays) disappeared

If this is normal then when did it change from showing the green checkmark icon overlays on the OneDrive icon itself in Windows Explorer and on the folders within OneDrive. Please look at the thread titled OneDrive which shows the picture of how it used to look. Thanks.
