Windows 10: Onedrive not letting me sign in.

After a weird boot cycle when starting up my computer, which caused my bios settings to reset, my Chrome to lose all of its extensions, my notification area icons to screw up and go invisible like the icon spots were still there, but the icons themselves were invisible, and my internet to be very weird in that windows said I have internet and saw no problems, yet I couldn't access the internet on any browser or program, I managed to get it all fixed, except for OneDrive, which was saying it was "signing in" for forever. So I went into the settings and hit "unlink this PC", to which I got an error saying it didn't have access to the internet every other app does have internet now, at this point. So I decided to restart my computer, to which OneDrive now says "sign in to onedrive to get started" with a "sign in" button. When I click this button, the popup closes out, and nothing happens. When I go into the settings, I can see that it still says my account is linked, and when I click "unlink this PC", the settings close out, and nothing happens.


I have tried the "%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset" command, all it does is close OneDrive and doesn't fix anything.


I have tried looking in the Credential Manager. There is no credentials in there referencing anything about OneDrive. I saw a similar poster saying removing all of the credentials in there fixed their problem, I tried it, and it did not.


I tried resetting Winsock, didn't do anything.


Again, when I click the OneDrive icon in the notification area, it pops up telling me to sign in, and when I click sign in, the popup disappears, and nothing happens. This is what the popup looks like:


For more reference, I am fully updated on Windows 10, with 1909 installed.

signing into onedrive

Hi JoelDavial,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are unable to sign in to OneDrive on your Surface Pro. We do have a dedicated team, which supports issue related to OneDrive. Meanwhile you can try the following steps and check if that helps.

I would suggest you to check if you are able to login to
OneDrive
website. If you are able to login to the website, then please try downloading the
latest version of OneDrive
and check if that helps.

However, if the issue persist I would suggest you to contact OneDrive support team. You can follow the steps below to contact the OneDrive support team.

Sign in to OneDrive.com from any browser, click the '?' help icon on the top banner of the page and select
Email OneDrive support. Submit your question and follow the prompts to request support.

Thanks,

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.

 

Signing in - Sorry, there is a problem with onedrive servers

Hi Sahil,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• When you say, ‘added another one on my laptop’, are you to trying to setup a new Microsoft account on the device or are you trying to link it to OneDrive?
  

If you’re facing issues with setting up a new Microsoft account on the device, I suggest you to
Create a new local administrator accountand
then convert it to a Microsoft account. Refer Sign in with Windows
10 section in the article How to sign in to
your Microsoft account for the same.

If you’re facing issues with linking an account to OneDrive, I suggest you to check the
versioning settings of your OneDrive library. Follow the suggestions by
ReneYu MSFT on the thread Sorry, there is a problem
with the OneDrive servers, dated 29 April 2016, for the same.

Hope it helps.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
