Windows 10: "OneDrive isn't signed in" Error message

Every time I restart my computer, the above message shows up on my screen after my desktop is opened. The message shouldn't be there, obviously. My OneDrive IS signed in but for some reason I keep getting that message. I access OneDrive through my browser, not an app. I don't understand why this is happening. BTW, this problem started after my computer installed the latest version of Windows 10 a couple days ago. I have had several problems come up since that update.


Thanks

OneDrive isn't signed in - continuous message

Yesterday my system suddenly hung - no idea of cause. After the reboot I got a message flashing in bottom rh corner 'Onedrive isn't signed in'. It stays for 8 seconds, disappears and returns immediately. The Tray icon shows a red icon. If I right click that
it invites me to sign in. If I click that it says signing out and immediately returns. If I right click the icon and select settings the dialog box displays then disappears after a couple of seconds

I have rebooted and I have reset onedrive - both have no effect

Any suggestions were I might go from here. Onedrive has been stable for me since I moved to Windows 10 3+ years ago

Many thanks

 

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.

 

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.
