Windows 10: Onedrive has ceased allowing me to open any files stored in it

This screen....Update & Security>Windows Insider Program. What does yours look like? I'm on a regular, but I'd like to see yours.

 

thanks for all your help btw.

 

btw ive unlinked my onedrive account from the online side, and the files in the onedrive folder on the g:drive are still inaccessible.

 

This is what you want to do. Not RESET.





If it does not work correctly, the attempt at RESET corrupted some links. If you were willing to try that RESET, you already know it would have made you reinstall your apps. If the "Stop Insider Builds" does not work, make a good copy of all your personal files, the ones in your USER folder. All the OneDrive files are safe because you said you could get to them online.

That being said, if the Stop Insider Builds won't work, you need to do a clean install, re-sync your OneDrive from the cloud (it's all still there), re-install your apps (MS apps will install themselves).

All the steps for a clean install are here:

@Groggubus, It's getting late here, 10PM. Lunch time for you, +14hours. I'll be happy to pick up tomorrow, but my eyelids are drooping right now. Read over my last post. Try the Stop Insiders. Look at the Clean Install tutorial. This is fixable, just too tired right now to keep going. I'll check in the morning, let me know, please.

Thanks, TC

 

thanks for your help *Smile i think ill do a clean install, its the only way to be sure *Smile

 

Good morning, @Groggubus....

Clean install sounds like a good decision. The repeated failed "reset" may have done other damage beyond your OneDrive. Best of luck, and post back if you need anything else.

Cheers! TC

 

@f14tomcat good evening *Smile i did the reinstall of windows, and onedrive still wouldnt sync! everything is saved on the cloud though. so i deleted the g:/onedrive, and am resyncing everything. all 66gb *Sad

thanks for all your help! i have heaps of kids photos stored there so it was kind of important.

 

@Groggubus

Good Evening/Good Morning! Maybe I should post this upside down! *chuckle

I had a suspicion that G:/OneDrive would bite you. Glad you got it all straight, even though it was a pain.

Take care....cheers! TC
