    Two Instances Of OneDrive At Start-up


    Hi,


    I've checked the forums and couldn't find anything specific to what I'm seeing.


    Every time I log in to my Windows 10 laptop, I get two instances of OneDrive open. One signs in successfully and immediately starts syncing. The other instance fails and comes up with an error saying 'Unable to sync OneDrive *** 1'. I have to choose close and then right click that instance in the task bar to exit out of it. I'm only seeing one instance in Windows Explorer.


    I did wonder if it was some start-up setting on the machine. I removed OneDrive from start-up, but then had no OneDrive instances at all after login. Manually starting OneDrive from the start menu also created two instances, with one failing showing the same error.


    Thanks,

    Tim

    :)

    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.
