Windows 10: OneDrive is stuck processing 9,606 changes even though there are none

Hello,


I've recently had to reinstall Windows 10 and have been restoring things back they way they were for the last couple of years. I have OneDrive all set up the way I had previously, but it will not complete syncing. Just when I think it's finished, it jumps right back up to Processing 9,606 changes. There are actually no changes to be processed, but when I check two different computers, they show two different total number files 602 is the difference, but same number of folders. I've reinstalled OneDrive and I've reset it, but it still gets stuck at 9,606. All was working fine before I reinstalled Windows and restored everything from backups. I can guarantee there are not 9,606 differences. There shouldn't even be 602 different files. All of the status icons on both computers show everything in sync. This has been going on for two days now. Please help.

OneDrive "Processing Changes" forever

My OneDrive is stuck constantly telling me that it is Processing 10 Changes. I have tried stopping synching and restarting synching. The result is that is says it is up-to-date for a few seconds, then goes back to Processing 10 Changes.

I also cannot find any files in my OneDrive system that are not check-marked green as synched.

After restarting my computer, OneDrive indicates that 15 files are not up to date and then it soon reverts back to "Processing 10 Changes".

How can I ensure that OneDrive is actually up-to-date and make it indicate that it is fully synched?

 

OneDrive incessantly searching and processing

Hello.

Before anyone gives the standard response; yes, I have done all the steps listed on the OneDrive forum, and no, they did not work.

My One Drive is stuck in an endless cycle. It spends a few seconds saying it is looking for files. then for about one second it says it is processing 413 files (which is certainly not possible; I've never created/changed hat many files at once without
syncing), then for a split second says I'm all set, then goes back into the 'looking for files' mode. It does this on an endless loop. What's even more strange is that every once in a while the 'processing files' part says it is processing a different number
of files. Usually it is 413, but occasionally it shows up as 75, and every once in a while it shows up as processing 2 files. (It is plausible that it actually is processing 2 files; but those other quantities are simply not possible based on how I've been
using OneDrive. However, from what I can tell, everything is synced properly and the 'all set' mode appears to be the correct one).

I"m using Windows 10 Home, version 1803. I updated yesterday; that did not solve the problem. I've paused and resumed OneDrive; no change. I've logged out and logged back in of OneDrive; no change. I've rebooted; no change. I've done all of these things
in every possible combination of sequences; no change.

Any ideas?

 

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.
