OneDrive stuck on "signing in"
Hi maglu,
here are some additional steps that might help:
Clear OneDrive cached credentials:
Navigate to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials.
Check for any "OneDrive" credentials and remove them.Unlink your account:
Right-click the OneDrive icon, go to Settings > Account, select "Unlink this PC," and then "Unlink this account". Afterward, sign in again to check if the issue persists.Reset OneDrive:
Press Win + R, type %localappdata%\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\onedrive.exe /reset, and press Enter. This will restart OneDrive and clear the cache. Try signing in again.

1. I've already tried 3 times to remove Onedrive credentials
2. I can't unlink it, because there's isn't an account linked to it; I can't log-in!
3. I've already tried resetting it multiple times, even using CMD to do it,
- Same issue - 24 july 24
Having the same issue. I think I've accepted the fact that Windows is just built like trash.
Have a personal Mac, and I have never run in to the issues I have with Windows.
Hi,
Keep having the same issue of one drive stuck on "signing in".
Anyone has a proven solution that will fix this issue?
Thank you
Hi maglu,
thanks for the update, I'm sorry that you are still having the issue with OneDrive.
Here are a few more things you can try:Firewall and Antivirus Settings:
Check your firewall and antivirus settings to make sure they are not blocking OneDrive's connection. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.Check Date and Time Settings:
Make sure the date and time settings on your computer are correct.Run OneDrive Troubleshooter:
Open Settings, go to Update & Security, then Troubleshoot. Look for and run the "Windows Store Apps" troubleshooter.Check for Windows Updates:
Ensure your operating system is up-to-date.Uninstall OneDrive:
Uninstall OneDrive, restart your computer.Delete the existing local OneDrive folder:
After uninstalling OneDrive, you could try deleting the existing local OneDrive folder and then reinstall the OneDrive App.
If none of these steps work, it might be best to reach out to Microsoft Support directly for further assistance.

(LinkedIn)LeonPavesic Thank for your suggestions but in my case I tried all the things you suggested and failed. But based on your Item 3 " Run OneDrive Troubleshooter: " I think about Windows Troubleshooter.
I ran it, selected the application OneDrive and when windows asked about the issue I got and I select the Issue related to Display and it SIGN-INed successfully. Thank God.So I share my experience here maybe help someone else.
P/s: I run Onedrive version 21.220.1024.0005 on Windows server 2012 R2
I follow all step but still stuck at here 2 day. Anyone resolve issue on Window server 20212 like this Thanks
- Update: There's something wrong with Windows. 50% of the time it doesn't work properly and is what causes this bug. If Windows isn't "booted" correctly, the screencut function doesn't work, OneDrive and related apps doesn't work, and some other apps seem to not work (e.g. my drawing pad software).
Has this behaviour been seen before? I can't figure out what causes it - Hi again.
From what I can see, I can log in to my personal account with ease. However, trying to log in to my Universities OneDrive account gives this error. I don't know why, maybe it's a security problem with Windows. I still can't find a fix, and I'm really disappointed with how janky it is.
