OneDrive pausing issues with Edge open

Opening Edge and immediately seeing OneDrive pause is a useful reproduction, but it is not a documented normal consequence of launching the browser. OneDrive does have automatic pause behavior for conditions such as battery saver and metered networking. First open the OneDrive activity panel and capture the exact pause message, then compare Windows power mode and network status immediately before and after opening Edge. Test while connected to power on the same network. Since reinstalling and clearing settings did not help, do not repeat that cycle yet. Instead, compare a clean Edge profile without extensions and record the OneDrive and Edge versions. Also confirm whether OneDrive folder backup is enabled, even if you have not intentionally placed files in its folder. If the pause is reproducible without an identified automatic-pause condition, send Microsoft the sequence, timestamps and message through OneDrive support.
