You can first uninstall the app from Settings > Installed apps > OneDrive.

Press Win+R, type following and press Enter:

C:\Windows\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall /allusers

Next open Registry Editor using regedit command.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive.

In the right pane, create/set/update DisableFileSyncNGSC to 1.

Restart the system.
