Is there any ETA for rolling out this issue fix from Microsoft?

Hope Microsoft will sort this out quickly, but don't hold your breath for that.
I just dropped small .bat file into Start-up folder
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
folder that will shutdown and turn back on OneDrive just after logging in into system.
Call it as you want, for example onedrive-temp-fix.bat with following content:
@echo off
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" /shutdown
start "" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe"

dazuk i'm very sorry to say, but this solution didn't worked for me either.
OneDrive is as slow as before, every folder-opening takes around 3-5 seconds, and if there is a file clicked on most of the time i come into the name-changing procedure.
This issue does really affect my user-experience of Windows 11.
- dazukNov 05, 2021Brass ContributorRemember that this is a work-around.
You need to implement 2 registry changes and autostart (shutdown) procedures at start-up, and there is no guarantee that this will work for everybody.
Some users report that is working, others do not. There are many other factors that can cause it. Pressure Microsoft to issue fix, I doubt they read the forum here, despite it's theirs.- simonb2021Nov 05, 2021Copper ContributorI'm happy to report that the fixes from dazuk work for me, even though I thought they didn't yesterday. I also installed an updated NVidia driver. Each fix on their own didn't work, but after all of them were applied, and I restarted using the .bat file from dazuk in my Start up folder I was happy to see that this morning when I turned on my PC everything was back to normal speed, AND I have the old Explorer context menu too! So, I'm happy.
- dazukNov 02, 2021Brass ContributorCan confirm, that this solution works well. I worked through the day without noticing any issues and automatic start-up will deal for me until an official update is done.
