OneDrive stuck on "signing in"
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 Onedrive
2. Removing auth from the pc and adding it again
3. Reinstalling Onedrive
4. Change Wi-Fi
5. Do a /reset in Windows run AND cmd
6. Update drivers
7. Install the newest Onedrive from the website
8. Try the app-version found in Windows Store
What 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 have Office 365 subscription so want too take advantage of Onedrive. I have had problems with it for years. Slow syncing, missing items, etc. Setting up a new laptop and it is stuck on logging in. I really don't know why a bother with Onedrive. Even free, it is not worth the trouble.
Same issue, unable to sign in to onedrive on windows app. 9/8/2025. Started as a sync issue, then was unable to sync anything, uninstalled and reinstalled, removed certs, reset etc nothing works.
I found that the problem for me was that I was using the Brave browser. When I switched to Chrome, I did not get the problem.
Same issue. I cannot get OneDrive to run on my laptop. Tried installing different versions. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Tried downloading from different sites. Tried logging in multiple times. I am able to login to OneDrive on the web just fine, no problems.
There is another one time solution. We switched from Dropbox to OneDrive when we get MS365. This issue you mentioned appears quite often, and other problems also. It's a crap product and difficult to use, after certain group of people took over the product at MS (wildly seen this inside info from a comment of Youtube video). I am relieved with using Dropbox, more reliable for our simple job of sync documents and share.
Done those steps mentioned. Found out that I've input the DNS IP to resolved the one drive application to login.
Got the same issue here, tried all the troubleshoots.
All worked fine till yesterday (i believed in the update...) and know i cannot work.
Sadly this is the sixth time this error orroured on Microsoft PCs.
Even Login here to write this comment was a hellride.
I have tried almost everything (unlinck, delete cche, pause syncing, etc, but niothing works.
I have windows 11 and I can't even find onedrive at the web application. Is there anything else to do?
- 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:

Good Luck!It Worked... Thanks man.
This works for me instantly. Thanks
Worked for me. I was stuck, clicking on 'Sign In' did nothing but close the Onedrive notification/setting screen.
- For me removing OneDrive with revouninstaller and restarting the device had fixed the problem, make sure you delete the registries with revo uninstaller as well. Hope that helps
