OneDrive for Business Client Stuck Processing nn changes for 2 full days. Never stops
JayFMSTechComm Although it is has been a long time since your post, I have found this simple workaround that worked in my case. It is from here: https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/onedrive-is-stuck-on-processing-changes-b386b813-9b66-4e47-8c4c-2b45533edccd
I have simply used the command %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset, then opened OneDrive back up. After a couple of minutes it was back synced as usual.
vpicco, thanks for posting. Would you happen to know whether OneDrive completely re-synced all of your OneDrive files after re-setting, or did it just (somehow) re-link what you had on the local hard drive with what it had in the cloud.
My OneDrive has about 100gb in the cloud, and I was concerned about ending up with two full copies on the local PC if I did the reset.
Thanks again.
JayFMSTechComm It was extremely fast so I think it only operates on the settings and not on the actual files. When I ran the command I actually did not see anything happen so I thought it didn't work and I ran it again. Then I noticed that OneDrive was closed, and I restarted it. I do not have a lot of stuff, so your experience may be different.
Also to know, sometimes there are these sync problems if you are making changes to files that are shared. Sometimes a different user "locks" a file by opening it. I have found that sometimes this "locking" state prevented the sync from working properly.
vpiccothe reset basically does the same as unlink / link - it goes through all of the thousands of files and determines if a download is warranted - if the file is already there and equal, it leaves it alone. But in my case it stays on 'processing 11000 changes' and counting down to zero for a while.
