  1. How do I get my OneDrive rather than my partner's to show in File Explorer


    Hello

    Just got a new Windows 10 PC. When asked initially to sign in to Microsoft, the account details we used were my partner's as he already had a Microsoft account.

    This means , of course, when the PC is turned on, it is his picture and details that appear but, more seriously, File Explorer shows his OneDrive. I have a OneDrive account but how do I get it to show in File Explorer.

    :)

    OneDrive Sidebar in File Explorer not working - OneDrive not showing in Registry

    My File Explorer OneDrive sidebar shortcut does not work. It does not point to the location of my OneDrive folders (or any location) and if I click on it nothing happens. The
    same goes for "Open Folder" if I click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.

    Also, in my registry, there is no key called
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive

    This can't be normal.

    Any suggestions/help? Thanks in advance!

    OneDrive files not showing

    I'm having the same issue. Navigating to OneDrive in file explorer on my PC does not show my files. If I log into OneDrive via web I can see my files. If I create new files and folders via explorer on my PC, these do show up in explorer and in the web
    interface.

    Troubleshooter does not work unfortunately with Windows 10 How do I get my OneDrive rather than my partner's to show in File Explorer :(
