Windows 10: When trying to close MS Project by hitting red X nothing happens. Users have to go File >...

When users are clicking the top X to close the program nothing is happening. As if it doesn't have a function.I've advised people to go to File > Exit for now. There are not windows or background tasks that would prevent the behaviour. It is the only Microsoft application that exhibits behaviour too.Can anyone advise ?

Red x's in File Explorer

Hello JonathanLimebrook,

Thank you for writing us here in Microsoft Community.

Based on the information you provided. I just want to ask a few questions as to narrow down the problem. It is important to answer this to provide more detailed troubleshooting steps.

1. May I know if you already done copying all your files in the OneDrive?

2. Can you post a screenshot about your issue?

3. May I know what troubleshooting steps you have done with your issue? Have you deleted the files that are done transferring?

Here are some possible troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your solution:

1. Right-click on the folder with the red x and select "Properties."

2. Click on the "General" tab and then click on the "Advanced" button.

3. Uncheck the box that says "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties."

4. Click "OK" to close the Advanced Attributes window.

5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to close the Properties window.



This should remove the red x from the folder and allow it to be backed up to OneDrive. If the issue persists, you can try resetting OneDrive by following these steps:



1. Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Settings."

2. Click on the "Account" tab and then click on "Unlink this PC."

3. Follow the prompts to unlink your PC from OneDrive.

4. Restart your PC.

5. Sign in to OneDrive again and set up your sync preferences.

Also try this link: Reset OneDrive - Microsoft Support

Let me know if the issue persists, and we can have other options.



I hope you find this information helpful.
