If you've already exhausted these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, you may want to try some more advanced solutions:
- Reinstall OneDrive: Completely uninstall the OneDrive desktop client from your computer and then reinstall it. Sometimes, a fresh installation can resolve underlying issues with the application.
- Check Event Viewer: Use the Event Viewer tool in Windows to check for any relevant error messages or events related to OneDrive. Look for any error codes or messages that might provide clues about what's causing the sign-out issue.
- Group Policy Settings: If your computer is managed by a network administrator or organization, there may be group policy settings that are affecting OneDrive behavior. Review the group policy settings applied to your computer and check if any policies are interfering with OneDrive.
- Try a Different User Account: Create a new user account on your computer and see if you encounter the same issue with OneDrive when logged in with that account. If the problem doesn't occur in the new user account, it could indicate that the issue is specific to your user profile.
- Run System File Checker: Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool to scan for and repair any corrupted system files that may be affecting OneDrive. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command "sfc /scannow" to initiate the scan.
- Check for Hardware Issues: Consider the possibility of hardware issues, such as a failing hard drive or faulty network adapter, that could be affecting OneDrive's performance. Run diagnostic tests on your hardware to rule out any hardware-related problems.
- Monitor Resource Usage: Use Task Manager to monitor resource usage (CPU, memory, disk, network) while OneDrive is running. Excessive resource usage could indicate a problem with your system configuration or other running processes conflicting with OneDrive.
Hope these steps can help.
Otherwise, I'm at my wits' end.

This is ridiculous.... Not only is myne signing out on it's own on my android device, but it signs IN on it's own on my Gmail account which is not a paid account and effects my online cloud storage. I have tried contacting Microsoft but they make the process so unnecessarily complicated it's starting to effect my mental health
