OneDrive missing from ‘file explorer’. – Solved!

[TeamKomando:John]

Hello Gary,

You may be able to manually launch the program by searching it from the start menu, once the app launches the icon on file explorer should return, if not try the following.

Try resetting the OneDrive sync app:

1. Press these two keys on your keyboard at the same time: Windows key and the R key. This will open the Run dialog box on your screen
2. Copy and paste this text into the Run window and press Enter:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

Let us know how it goes.

Hello John, Thanks for your quick response. The computer said it couldn’t find \onedrive.exe. I looked under Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features and OneDrive or Microsoft OneDrive is not listed. Looks like the Onedrive app is gone. Should I install it again? How do I go about installing it again.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,

Yes, you should download the program and get that installed again. You can click here to download the One Drive client.

John, I downloaded OneDrive from the link you sent me and it worked. I now have OneDrive on my file explorer again.

Thanks for you help with this and your quick response.
