OneDrive Sync (Known Folder Move) preventing shutdown
Hello!
So I have a strange issue, and am wondering if anyone here within the community has experienced it, and what you've done to minimize this.
As a test rollout I have applied group policies to backup known folders in OneDrive. We have one from upper management with possibly over 40,000 files in between his Desktop, Documents, and Pictures. Whenever he tries to shut his computer off, OneDrive is actually preventing windows from shutting down. I believe it's due to syncing, and to shut off his computer every day, he has to close OneDrive first.
Of course this doesn't happen on my machine, and I don't have 40,000+ files at all. From a management perspective, I know they just "want it to work". Have any of you experienced this, or have ideas on what I can do to make it so OneDrive doesn't prevent Windows from shutting down?
Shawnwat Sorry for the delay. So far, no. It's really only affecting this one user, but he has so many files, I'm just curious if it's getting stuck on some. He's happy with it, other than OneDrive preventing the shutdown, and now it's hard now that we're all working remotely until we have the okay to go back into the office.
