Windows 10: OneDrive will not start automatically

Since last week I see that OneDrive will not start automatically on my machine, thus the sync is not working. It does work if I start OneDrive manually - then it gets back to "normal".


This problem is on my private PC, my work PC and also today I saw that other people in another company had the same problem. It seems to be a Microsoft Windows 10 problem.


Has anyone else had this problem?

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 fails to start automatically after login

Hi Ricardo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that OneDrive doesn’t start automatically once you login to the PC.



As you have already checked the option Start OneDrive Automatically, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, to open
   Task Manager.
   
2. Click on Startup tab, and look for
   Microsoft OneDrive.
   
3. Click on it and select Enable.
   

Refer the screenshot below:









If the issue persists, we do have a dedicated forum for OneDrive, let me point you in the right direction, where you may get further assistance. To contact OneDrive support 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.

OneDrive not starting automatically when Windows starts

I have a new install of Windows 10, fully updated. My issue is that OneDrive is no longer automatically starting when Windows starts.

I have tried selecting the setting in OneDrive, "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows" but it eventually resets itself to unselected. OneDrive appears in the list of Startup apps after I select this option but eventually disappears from
the list.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive, but this hasn't fixed it.

This issue did not exist before the most recent Windows 10 update.
