OneDrive issues after update to Windows 10 2004
Hi, please check \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CldFlt\Instances
After upgrade to build 2004, the DefaultInstance was set to CldFltUpper.
I changed the value as CldFlt, rebooted... And now the FOD function is back and fully functionnal.
Hope this will work for you too.
I had the idea to change this value as on my professional computer, I only have one instance named CldFlt and not the CldFltUpper.

This fix worked for me as well. My OneDrive Personal and OneDrive Business both were not syncing after the upgrade. This registry change did the trick. Nice sleuthing on that. Also, thanks to the OP for providing a very clear write up and description of the issue.
I hope somebody from Microsoft with at least a little bit of competence can address this issue.
Microsoft constantly drops the ball on its Windows 10 updates and could care less about consumers or small businesses.
I'm about ready to drop Windows altogether and switch to the only crap option of Linux, in addition to my personal and business subscriptions of Office 365 since it seems impossible to have a reliable computer with MS's poor customer support.
Call their customer service for any reason or chat with them in a chat and you're bound to get the most incompetent of people. The corporation as a whole doesn't care about its consumers because they have a contract with nearly every government agency in the US as well as the larger enterprises.
- your a genious!
Josep1190, you're a Genius! My \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CldFlt\Instances was also set to CldFltUpper, and although I did not have a pre-upgrade copy to compare, I just followed your recommendation: changed to CldFlt & rebooted. Now everything works again!
Thank you very much!
- Hi, Glad it helped you !
I hope someone from Microsoft will explain why this happenend ??...My theory is that they wanted to make our systems more "secure", but it lead to disaster, as with many other things with this update Josep1190
- OMG, thanks, sir! solved this problem!!!!
We found the solution to our issue of OneDrive not starting, it was the InTune Shared Desktop policy that is an on or off setting but it set 30 policies up including disabling OneDrive!
Why you'd want to disable OneDrive on a Shared Desktop in a InTune environment, I don't know but here is the article on what this policy does:
Gotcha! Just one of the numerous setting this one policy makes
Admin Templates>Windows Components>OneDrive
Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage
Enabled
Always
Josep1190Below is a snapshot of the registry on a machine that upgraded successfully with the DefaultInstance set to CldFltUpper. The problem must be elsewhere.
Hammer_Man Hi, sorry it does not help you. But as said to @HughesHall my reply and solution was for @MStruzak who described my exact same problem. You said in your post yours was the same as @HughesHall, which is not mine. At least two users solved their problem using my trick.
Good luck solving your particular issue. I knows each situation is unique.
Hammer_Man I've started a new post for my specific issue:

- you're welcome !
Josep1190 This didn't fix my issue as the OneDrive app will not even run on the PC
After changing the key, it still would not run
Hi, sorryn but my replie and solution was for @MStruzak who described my exact same problem. You said in your post yours is slightly different.
Good luck solving your issue.
