    How to reinstall OneDrive


    I have recently bought a new Surface laptop and have been having sync issues with OneDrive. Copilot suggested I uninstall and reinstall OneDrive. I uninstalled it but cannot reinstall as the links to download on Microsoft website result in the following error. If you click "yes" nothing happens it just closes the popups.I work from home on my own device so this is infuriating - please help.Thanks

    :)

    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.

    REINSTALL ONEDRIVE

    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
