Hi,
It really depends if you have a user or machine wide onedrive installation. In all tenants I have got a test vm , the FileCoAuth.exe is inside the program files folder instead of the local appdata.
I am not receiving any firewall prompt about it.
Did you specify additional firewall rules or other settings connected to it?

No - never did anything - not sure why it came up - or why the installation of onedrive didn;t set them.
Ian Cunningham, so it means I can grant access when defender blocks it?
- MS resolved it. It turns out that the rule was no active in the public profile and occasionally I was losing Lam connectivity and switching temporarily to WiFI. had I ever left the building in the last 6 months I suppose I would have worked it out - but as the LAN came back on pretty quickly the issue would go away -on its own and hence the very intermittent nature (and the lack of anyone else with the same issue).
so what does this mean on my laptop? Brand new laptop and do NOT want to do ANYTHING to harm it
