Onedrive-disappearing act :(

Orionaut · 17 May 2017 at 11:30

Onedrive seems to have vanished from one of my machines.

Initially I got an error box stating that explorer.exe couldnt open this file because there was no association (Or some such)

Now nothing appears in the left hand side and in the main window, there is a onedrive icon but nothing happens when I click it.

I can still access onedrive from other machines.

I had some boot issues earlier and I suspect something got scrambled

Sorry about scant information, I can provide more later if anybody wants anything specific, but I have to go to work now.

But if anybody has any suggestions as to how to recover/restore onedrive access I would be most grateful

I'd just reinstall and login again, see if that does anything.

Happens from time to time with Dropbox, reinstall One drive.

Did that and it now works fine.

I did search for that earlier but kept on getting unhelpful pages telling me that Onedrive came with win 10 and thus didn't need to be installed.

Only by using the correct cabalistic incantation "reinstall one drive win 10" did I eventually get to the right page..
