Hi, I'm trying to use Onedrive and Onenote, but it seems to be really terrible 50% of the time. Sometimes when I log on my pc, it says I have to log in, and in doing so, is stuck on a "signing in" loop, until it says some error code about me not having an internet connection. Here's what I've tried:1. Close and open Onedrive2. Removing auth from the pc and adding it again3. Reinstalling Onedrive4. Change Wi-Fi5. Do a /reset in Windows run AND cmd6. Update drivers7. Install the newest Onedrive from the website8. Try the app-version found in Windows StoreWhat am I supposed to do? I don't want to restart my pc every time it doesn't work, that's a terrible fix.

I encountered the exact issue with yours and tried every solutions almost, but didn't work on my Windows 10 22H2 19045.5011. Finally, I got this solved easily just by installing the latest version of OneDrive application. The folder setting appeared immediately after signing in. The Microsoft link is below:https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/onedrive/downloadGood Luck!

Mine did not work when installed via Microsoft Store, but it worked when downloaded via Website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/download

Hi Leon1. I've already tried 3 times to remove Onedrive credentials2. 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,

maglu Hi, Have you found a solution. I have the same problem and have tried all suggested solutions and nothing has worked.
