Looks like the team opened and resolved this bug over the past week! It seems to have primarily affected older builds. If you're still seeing it, can you please comment below with the version number (from edge://settings/help) and submit feedback through the browser? (Shift+Alt+I)

Why is the location C:/users/onedrive ?
is "onedrive" name of your user? normally it is "C:\users\USERNAME\OneDrive"

I also have PDF files on my OneDrive, I can open them in Edge without problem.

as an example, this is one of their locations:

"file:///C:/Users/MyUserName/OneDrive/Compliance%20Framework_customer%20guidance.pdf"

I know where your problem stems from though.

you mentioned:

"file:///C:/User/Onedrive/Arteficial%20intelligence/Lecture5%20Assignment/6.%20Supervised%20Learning%..."

which is incomplete but I see forward slash in your PDF file name that shouldn't be possible in Windows. forward slash ("/") or back slash ("\") means different directory.

so i think you're either doing something wrong or you need to reword your post.
