Windows 10: onerdrive is a complete clusterf*&^%$. I would warn anybody against using this "utility"/virus

This piece of trash program has deleted and forever lost files off my hard drive, obscured locations of folders to make to know where they are, and generally caused me nothing but confusion and rage. Further, there is no good docuementation telling me what the#$%^ this POS is even trying to do.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
