OneDrive locking up Surface Studio 2 running Win 11
I upgraded my Surface Studio 2 to Win 11 2 days ago when MS offered the upgrade to me. Since then the system repeatedly locks up (spinning blue circle with right clicks, onscreen menus fail, etc.) after a few minutes to an hour of use. I've traced the problem to OneDrive going nuts. All I have to do to restore normalcy is open Task Manager and kill the OneDrive process. However as a way of life, this sucks. Thoughts on how to remedy? Many thanks.

Just prior to jumping off the balcony of my 23rd floor NYC apartment, I discovered this simple protocol for "resetting" Microsoft OneDrive:

All issues resolved! Hello, have you downloaded the latest updates in the Microsoft Store?
Sometimes Defender can block OneDrive (add allowed app)
See what applications start at system startup - you can disable this process.
