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.
