Error 0x8007016A: The Cloud File provider is not running.

I can no longer open any zipped files, or move or copy any files in any of the OneDrive folders on my PC. Every time I try I get error message 0x8006017A and the message that "The Cloud File provider is not running".

This problem occurs in both normal and safe modes, and regardless of whether the OneDrive app is running or not.

Help!
