In some instances, particularly where the client is not synchronizing files properly, there are steps to take to resolve the issue.
Close and Reopen OneDrive Sync Client
- Locate the Cloud icon in color blue near the clock in the taskbar:
- Click on the cloud icon to reveal more information about the activity of the client and reveal the Settings icon (the gear):
- Click on Settings icon then click the option to Quit OneDrive
- After clicking on Quit OneDrive, confirm by clicking Close OneDrive
- Click on the Start Button and if visible, click on OneDrive or start to type One and it should be one of the top options then click on it
- Stand by for a minute while it reinitializes
If This Does Not Fix It
- Click on the Start Button and start to type power then click on PowerShell or Windows PowerShell
- Enter in the following to the PowerShell Window:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset - Press Enter to run it
- Stand by while it reinitializes and resynchronizes. This may take quite a while.
