Regarding the version I provided to you, if I compare it with the current version, I can see that 21 versions have been released since that version. This clearly shows how slowly the software is being updated. As far as I can remember and based on what I have observed, I have never seen the software update itself automatically.
The Visual C++ Redistributable is required by many programs, and Windows updates can sometimes corrupt these files, causing installation or repair loops.
OneDrive normally updates itself gradually, so your device may legitimately remain one build behind the release-notes page. Select the OneDrive cloud icon > Help & Settings > Settings > About and record the installed version. Confirm that OneDrive runs under the intended Windows account and that the device is not using an organization-controlled deployment ring. Microsoft notes that Family Safety settings, browser extensions, or firewall rules can block update endpoints, so test without those restrictions and ask the administrator to allow OneDrive update traffic. Restart OneDrive, then Windows. If the version remains old, download the current OneDrive installer from Microsoft and run it over the existing installation; this should preserve the sync relationship. Do not remove the local OneDrive folder or unlink the account merely to update the client. If manual installation fails, collect the setup log and exact error before investigating the separate Visual C++ issue.
