Windows 10: OneDrive Error Code 0x80070490

When I go to OneDrive on my Web Browser, I can enter my OneDrive Personal Vault without an issue.


On the Windows 10 Pro x64 Desktop App, (on a Standard User Account) when I click the Personal Vault Shortcut, the Personal Vault Setup window opens and I enter my Administrator Credentials and then the setup window opens and it states that it's preparing "for first use".


Before completion, it errors out with Error Code 0x80070490.


Suggestions?


P.S. - my System is completely up to date with updates.


Lastly - why is there no Category in this forum for OneDrive?

:)

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.
