Windows 10: OneDrive icon signing in forever

I recently moved a computer and when it was hooked up again everything worked (including onedrive, I think) but the onedrive icon in the taskbar signs in indefinitely and the little checkmarks on the onedrive files have disappeared. However, I can open onedrive and see the files but if I change a file on the desktop that is/was on onedrive before the move, that change doesn't show on another computer which uses the same onedrive account. So it seems that although I can see prior onedrive files, new files are not being loaded to it. Also, I cannot find a way to work on onedrive files offline. I got an error once about a cache credential which I then updated, but the icon is still chugging on. I would appreciate any help that you can provide. Thanks in advance. Fred

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.

Thank you for your response. To move the OneDrive icon, you can follow the steps below:

• Click Start button, then select Settings.
• Go to Personalization.
• On Perosonalization, click Taskbar.
• Under Notification area, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
  
• Turn off Microsoft OneDrive.

We will wait for the outcome.

 

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.
