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?

AceGJ -- My recommendation is to uninstall the version that you have currently and download the newer version:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/new-onedrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0. It looks like there is a newer version (Production Ring: 18.091.0506.0007).
I did this and it was working very well (though a week ago I needed to send my laptop in for a hardware repair so can't speak to whether there are current issues.
In my case windows didnt allow me to uninstall..when i tried to install the update from the website it said i could not because a newer version was already installed. Thats when i went to the folder...and my fix was clicking on the exe i mentioned in my previous post.
Go to control panel and "remove program". Select OneDrive and uninstall this first BEFORE trying to download the new version.

I am running version 18.091.506.0007 and onedrive.exe is still deleted every 24-48 hrs. I've instituted a workaround until MS fixes this. I've created a backup subdirectory just to hold a copy of onedrive.exe in appdata/local/microsoft/onedrive and pinned it to quick access. Whenever I see the onedrive icon missing on the quick launch bar, I grab a backup copy from quick access and place it into its proper directory, double click to launch, and it's good to go until deleted again.
