- Same error here
michaelscott1604 This is not a minor error. This is a VERY major error and is causing the file system to completely freeze, Edge to become unresponsive, and the video card to completely reset after filling the log with hundreds of these errors and ending in a "Warning" lol.
This needs to be fixed and appears to be a problem with OneDrive.
- Same issue on my side. As a side effect is that Windows Explorer became extremely slow in displaying any folder synchronised with OneDrive (which for me, connected with a Microsoft account and using OneDrive folders for "Desktop", "Documents", "Pictures",...) means the machine is hardly useable in this state.
- Same
- Same issue here. It doesn't appear to be affecting functionality, maybe just an annoyance?
- I am seeing the exact same error, and would love to get a solution, this is really filling up my system event logs.
