Windows 10: OneDrive will not connect or sync since about 7/14/2020

OneDrive used to work like a folder or drive in my up-to-date Windows 10 Professional system. About 10 days ago, it stopped syncing. Since then, the problem has worsened to not even being able to connect, sign in, or have the drive show up. I have searched the internet, and I have tried the following proposed solutions:


• Unlink and relink the PC.

• Uninstall and reinstall OneDrive.

• Try the OneDrive "app" instead of the integrated OneDrive "program" okay, this one is just weird ... I have since removed the "app".

• Completely cycle the internet and network hardware plus all computers.

• Reset sync in my Microsoft account.


For what it's worth, when I sign in to OneDrive through a browser or through the "app" mentioned above, all of my files are there up to the date when this all started.


Also for what it's worth, I use OneNote a lot. I mean ... a LOT. Now my Notebooks aren't syncing either, which is causing great strife in my work life.


Anyone have any other suggestions, or do I just need to accept that OneDrive will never work like it used to, and I should now think of it as an animated "Loading..." gif?


Thanks in advance. :-

Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

I think I have to take the following steps:

• Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
• Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
• Startup PC
• Reinstall display driver
• Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
• Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
• Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
• Calibrate my 1440p monitor

Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

Is there anything else I should do/know?
