OneDrive does NOT start when I sign in to Windows 11

[Andres_Eduardo]

Hello,

I have recently upgraded my PC to Windows 11. However, since then OneDrive doesn't start automatically when I sign in to Windows. I have already verified that:

1. The option "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign in to Windows" is enable on the General settings.
2.  Onedrive is enable in the Startup of the Task Manager.

Despite the above, I still need to manually open OneDrive each time I restart my PC. Any idea on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance!

Hello @Kapil Arya!

Thanks a lot for your help. I have tried the fix that you described, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Hi! Did you get it sorted out eventually?

I'm in the same boat. I usually have to manually terminate the OneDrive task and reopen the app. To use the Windows Explorer hiccup free, I need to go to Fullscreen mode (F11) as that for some reason bypasses whatever OneDrive shenanigans is keeping it from working as intended.

My current OneDrive version is Build 22.116.0529.0003 64-bit as I'm enrolled in the Insider program.

The underlying issue seems to be the same related to this old post and looks like we've got no real fix since then.
