    "The tag present in the reparse point buffer is invalid" error solution did not work!


    I have done previous research and tried the command "chkdsk /r /f" and restarted my computer. It did not work.I have also pasted %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset inside Run. When I pasted C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset it couldn't find the file. I have restarting my computer. It still didn't work!!!Am I just stuck with this file forever on my desktop?

    :)

    Error 0x80071128: The data present in the reparse point buffer is invalid

    Neither of these suggestions worked. What else do you suggest.

    File History and reparse points.

    It turns out that File History hasn't been keeping a history of my important files. Ever. The error events say that the various folders in my home directory are reparse points. For example, it complains that C:\Users\whn\Documents is a reparse point.
    If I open that file's properties, it says that it is a folder, however there is a tab labeled Location which says "Files in the Documents folder are stored in the target location below." In the location below it says that the files are stored at "C:\Users\whn\Documents".
    That is to say, the reparse point is a folder that is stored where the reparse point is. ??

    This can't be good. And it can't be normal, else File History would not be working for anybody. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I guess I could, for each of Desktop, Documents, etc., move the contents to a temp dir, delete the self-referential
    link, the rename the temp dir back to Desktop, Documents, etc... But that doesn't sound good.

    So, I created a new user account, signed in, and discovered that it has the same pattern as my main account (desktop and documents are reparse points that refer to themselves). Which means it is normal for this version of Windows and that File History shouldn't
    be working for anyone anywhere. How can that be?

    A couple of points: This is Windows 10 Pro version 1803. This machine is four years old and was originally a Windows 8 machine that got the free upgrade to 10.

    I hope you can help, thanks!
