RHCITC We have been hit also by this annoying issue. Actually this feature is not suggested by Microsoft to be used on Modern Workplace environment, use instead "Add shortcut to OneDrive", that it's not the same by the way, files opened on your workstation will be downloaded locally then syncronized with the cloud (some issues may occur on particular hard working users, specially on Excel files), as far as I know, this is not happening when using "File Explorer" mode, no local cache so no sync issue.

Do you agree?

 

We found a workaround, by chance i'd say :), just "Reload the sharepoint site in Internet Explorer mode", than "Exit Internet Explorer mode", it's working again!  O_o

    You are right. These 2 tings is defiantly not the same.

    Today MS has release a new version of Edge where the issue has been fixed.

      Thanks everyone for the responses. We updated the Edge browser to version 125.0.2535.79 and I can confirm the updated version fixed the issue.
