Mac: OneDrive Couldn't Start: Please restart your computer and try again
Followed the steps above, thanks ! I recommend to NOT use the
button, but instead at Shared Libraries to your OneDrive by
adding a shortcut to OneDrive. This way the folders will sync as well (also always keep on the device) but is more reliable.
My issue is that I need to refine those 30 shares to bring back. Additionally, that's going to blow up timemachine on me.
As a work around, I need to test it but I was able to extract out that OneDrive has an 'odopen' URL scheme. I've written a script to extract what URLS are registered and I think have a way via CLI to restore them back.
Depending on how this works, I may end up publishing a github repo with scripts one can use to save a 'config' of OneDrive sync's one has. In the event you changed laptops or lost them, be able to restore those syncs without having to rediscover them all over again.

Check out my reply.
The update to the insider preview restores all accounts that were working up until the problematic version.I have 4 accounts and various custom sync'd SharePoint folders etc. All work after the update to insider version 26.163.0823.0004
