[Problem found and solved] Microsoft OneDrive

[LeeSmithG]

Hello rude boys and girls.

 

I have been having an abolute problem with Microsoft OneDrive, it kept, crashing.

 

You noticed the word ''crashing'' with quotations, that is now a past tense.

 

I hope I found a solution and a fix.

 

My advice to you if you're having the same crashing issues, then download the latest version and build, Microsoft OneDrive v17.3.6798.0207.

 

I solved it by removing the folder in C:\Users\Your-Name\onedrive and delete it.

 

I copied it to my software U.S.B. drive for backup purposes.

 

I then ran Microsoft OneDrive v17.3.6798.0207 as administrator and reinstalled it and it then opened asked for email and password and then asked me where it wanted the onedrive to be stored.

 

I selected my U.S.B. drive R and installed it there.

 

It then synched and downloaded evertything, all five (5) gigs worth.

 

I am sure you can store you onedrive back in C:\Users\Your-Name\onedrive or If another letter is your windows drive then there.

 

I have not done the latter yet, but I am sure it might be fine.

 

Hope this entry helps some with problems, I did check the web for help and it was full of net-crap that didn't work.

 

So I rattled my grey stuff and found the cure myself.

 

Further information (19th March 2017).

 

Yesterday, I decided to try it back in it's default location, C:\Users\Your-Name\onedrive.

 

It works fine back there too.

 

Very queer why this would happen, but that is Microsoft.

 

Update 26th March 2017.

 

I tried in default location, it was alright for a short period, then bang-bang, crashing time.

 

So I put it on an external u.s.b. two (2) drive and for some days no crashing and fine, so I think that is the correct fix.

I think the title should be changed from problem to solution or something like that.

I think it should be noted that you're running windows me ?

Why are you such a melt?

 

I run Windows seven (7) SP1 x64.

 

Windows Millennium is old and tired.

 

If you want for yourself, I can sell you an O.E.M. version I still have!
