Hi, on a completely new install with W11 autopilot and intune policies with deferred updates, we are having problems getting OneDrive to do it's first setup install. When looking through the install logs of "OneDriveSetup.exe /thfirstsetup" we see the errors:
03/17/2026 09:43:42.793 SetupEngine: !ERROR! (0x80040CAB) ZeroExhaust policy is set on this machine. Skip download UpdateRingSettings or ECS Configuration
03/17/2026 09:43:42.793 SetupEngine: !ERROR! (0x80040CAB) Failed to download and apply update ring settingsAfter a long search on the internets and using AI to even try to follow the code path, we came across this blog post. Does the ZeroExhaust policy refer to any of these feature or other WUfB settings in intune?
Note that I've not yet fully checked all steps and parts of this blog post in our policy settings yet. Doing that now. I am hoping to get a little extra guidance or pointers about this error.
