  1. OneDrive folders appear empty in Windows 11 File Explorer


    I am able to access my OneDrive files and folders on three separate devices, but the app behaves a little strangely on my desktop PC. I can see the cloud icon in my system tray, I have confirmed that I am signed in and that all files are synced, all of my drive's contents are available via the web app, and changes to files that I have made since this problem started occurring are visible when I load the same file on other devices. However, when I click the OneDrive icon in File Explore, I see no files or folders, only the following message: "This folder is empty." The same is true for all subf

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Random folders appearing to my new hard drive

    Then after that, enable options > hide virustotal.com clean entries ... only suspicious stuff will remain.
    Check the complete list on the Everything tab, it may not be explorer extension listed on that tab.

    It may be something stupidly simple like onedrive/skydrive being setup to sync folders that are being dumped remotely.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.
