Windows 10: OneDrive icon disappears from taskbar after logging in

I was having the same issue, fought and fought the problem and it ended up for me being that “Microsoft OneDrive” in Startup was Disabled.






Solution:



Click search, enter Task Manager

Open Task Manager

Click on Startup tab

Browse the programs listed, make sure that “Microsoft OneDrive” under the Status tab is set to “ENABLED” if not re-enable.



Re-install “Microsoft OneDrive”, making sure that the Icon is visible on the Windows Taskbar.

Sign off and then back on. Allow time for Windows Taskbar Icons to re-populate.



Good Luck

:)

 

After Creators update, the OneDrive System tray icon disappeared and I can't access settings. File explorer shows folder but not OneDrive Icon.

Hi Andrew,

If OneDrive application doesn't appear on your system tray after performing the steps given above, here's an additional resolution on how to get back your OneDrive icon. To do so, follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key + R.
• In the Run window, enter %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset
• Click OK.
• Make sure that the OneDrive icon in the notification area of the taskbar disappears and then re-appears after a minute or two.
• If the OneDrive icon doesn't re-appear after a few minutes, open the Run window again and enter: %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe

Do update us with the result and if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

OneDrive folder icon changed to plain

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I understand your concern and suggest you to Unlink OneDrive and run OneDrive setup
again and check. Here is the steps:

• 
  Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
  
  
  
  (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
  OneDrive icon.)
  
• 
  Click Settings, and then click Unlink.
  
• 
  Follow the steps in the Welcome to OneDrive wizard to set up OneDrive.
  

Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.
