  1. OneDrive not allowing me to open files


    Hi, for some reason I no longer can open any files in my one drive on my Laptop from File Manager no issues before


    So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled OneDrive, rebooted many times.

    When I go on-line, I can access files, but when using my file manager I get the following error message:


    "there was an error opening this document. The file cannot be accessed by the system"


    That was from Adobe, and I get similar messages from DOC and JPG files.



    What I do notice is today all the icons have a green check mark on my laptop, but not my Surface, my windows Surface computer works fine



    And one has two way arrow circle

    :)

    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?

  3. Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    OneDrive not allowing me to open files

    Onedrive has ceased allowing me to open any files stored in it

    This is what you want to do. Not RESET.

    If it does not work correctly, the attempt at RESET corrupted some links. If you were willing to try that RESET, you already know it would have made you reinstall your apps. If the "Stop Insider Builds" does not work, make a good copy of all your personal files, the ones in your USER folder. All the OneDrive files are safe because you said you could get to them online.

    That being said, if the Stop Insider Builds won't work, you need to do a clean install, re-sync your OneDrive from the cloud (it's all still there), re-install your apps (MS apps will install themselves).

    All the steps for a clean install are here:
