onedrive sync problem after a long holiday
Dear all,
after a 6 days holiday and I turn on my PC, the onedrive on my Windows 7 has problem, > 3xx files has problme on sync.
when opening it, see attached:
that mean I have to open the doc in word and see what is the reason it can't sync ! but it doesn't have any!
what I found out is, in the onedriver folder, I just search that file and then change the name, everything will works !!
but I don't want to do it for the next 3xx files, anything I can do to fix it without killing all the content in my onedrive content in my other PC which also see/use this onedrive?

Have you made sure Windows updates is on?
I had a problem with syncing by uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive. It mostly worked, but did create extra copies with the machine name as a suffix.

"Have you made sure Windows updates is on?"
it is on, but I set to only notisify me and don't auto update, I do a manual update yesterday and only Windows defender update.
how about reset it ? onedrive /reset ?

Updating may fix it.

what is updating means ?
btw, tell you one funny thing, today the onedrive again, seems fix themselves without I touched anything.
the problem is, it keep finding wrong item and what I do is just change the file name of the item in trouble ! can't see why ! this kind of problem happen again ONLY on serveral file again today and I just change the name of original name, that's it!
yeah, I change back and forward.
let see if the same thing happen again tomorrow.
I tried to chagne one file and see the version in cloud, then the version in cloud and see if it replicate back to local disk, it seems working fine without any problem.
Tomorrow should be the last check or I reinstall the onedrive ?

I tried uninstall and reinstall too ! but it doesn't works for me! sometimes it works and sometime it doesn't !
now, only one excel can't upload and I can't see why! it is the Windows 8.1 machine now.
I planned to reinstall the whole Windows 8.1 anyway as it should fix my any USB device connection problem.

I think when steve ballemer is here the Windows 8 architecture really bad that if a lot of application install on top of Windows 8, after many patches release and Windows 8.1 arrive, the old installed application start to having problem.

this problem does not existing in my other 2 x Windows 8.1 PC ! they all connect to the same onedrive and have the same content !
