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

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?

    I too believe this issue may be a MalwareBytes. I have another computer without MalwareBytes installed and have not had this issue on that device; it is currently at version 18.151.0729.0006 which is in the Production Ring.

    I know MalwareBytes has been suggested previously and I think a user stated that MalwareBytes had committed to a fix, but I don't believe this has happened.

    Does anyone have an ongoing ticket with MalwarBytes that may wish to comment?
