Why does my Onedrive.exe file disappear from the %appdata%\local\microsoft\onedrive folder?

Anonymous

For some reason, my onedrive.exe program gets deleted after a day from the %appdata%\local\microsoft\onedrive folder.

I have uninstalled OneDrive and then reinstalled it. The program works for a day, but then the following day I notice that the OneDrive icon is not in my taskbar (i.e. OneDrive stopped running) and then when I go to launch the program, it says it can't fine OneDrive. I navigate to the folder (noted above) and the OneDrive.exe file is no longer there.

This is really strange.

Can someone help?

To test exclusion settings, you may first need to roll back a Windows Update or go back to a restore point before the OneDrive update.

I have just added the exclusion to mine and will report back if my one drive has continued issues. Seems like this thread is making progress and I agree Malwarebytes seems to be the only common factor with everyone.

I too have same issue. Following the threads here & on Malwarebytes forum.

Has anyone tried setting an MBAM exclusion for folder C:\Users???\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive?

You're likely correct, but they should at least have a KB pointing at MalwareBytes support, should that turn out to be the offender here.

Might save people time/frustration.
