Windows 10: OneDrive not working and cant run anything as administer

Hello,


I have never posted anything like this before, I can usually figure these things out but I have tried everything. For one I cant open onedrive it says in my system tray but I cant even click on it anywhere else. Another thing is I cant run as administer for anything which would be very helpful to help my onedrive problems potentially. Lastly My audio isnt working and says "One or more audio service isnt running". I have tried everything on the internet for the past 3 hours and am very stuck :


I first got this problem when I ran a trouble shoot start up

:)

 

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.

 

OneDrive not running - reset won't work - how to get latest version?

Thanks for the suggestion.
The reason why I wanted to do a reset or re-install is to indeed get OneDrive in that list. Currently it isn't.

@Farvatten
Thanks for your elaborate reply. I tried the suggestions in the other thread.
Also with sfc /scannow and
Win-R "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft OneDrive\20.028.0206.0006\OneDriveSetup.exe" /allusers

The last one started setup, but it closed after a few seconds. OneDrive was running, but after reboot, it wasn't running anymore.

For one reason or the other the option "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows" in OneDrive > Settings was unchecked. For sure I did not do that. No reason to do that.

Also, over the last two days, my password manager needed to be launched manually, whereas it is always running in the background after PC boot. Similar to OneDrive it disappeared from the Task Manager > Startup list.

Only solution was to re-install it.

All above aside.
In my case, the solutions were relatively simple.
But frankly speaking, I really wonder how less experienced users who are neither visiting forums, nor being familiar with registry settings, Win-R matters, etc. would solve such issues...

Anyway, thanks again for your suggestions/reply!
