Windows 10: Onedrive not syncing, unable to uninstall to reinstall,

Hello Team,


I have been looking through the community and cannot find a resolution. My one drive stopped syncing then the icon was gone altogether. I have onedrive version 20.124.0621.0006. Now when I try the "exe" an error comes up "windows cannot find the exe". The exe file icon is not the cloud but a box. When try the exe an error comes up "the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.


I downloaded the new version from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...35e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us. When starting the install it says to uninstall the current version. when I try then back to square one, the application cannot be found yet it is in my app list.


I ama student and rely on Onedrive, any help would be appreciated.

:)

 

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.

 

Unable to uninstall Onedrive For Business

OneDrive can be uninstalled from some versions of Windows 10:

1. Select the Start button, type Programs in the search box, and then select Add or remove programs in the list of results.
   
2. Under Apps & features, find and select Microsoft OneDrive, and then select Uninstall.
   

As OneDrive is built in to some versions of Windows and can't be uninstalled. As a workaround, you can hide it. Reference “Turn off or uninstall OneDrive” for detail steps:
