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?

    If anyone wants to be a guinea pig, there's a new version of OneDrive rolling out (18.111.0603.0004) in production ring. Visit this page for the download: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/new-onedrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0

    Good luck! Report back any successes. I'll do the same.

    Same issue on all my Windows 10 computers. Based on all of the posts, "downloading OneDrive again" doesn't resolve the issue. Microsoft needs to fix this obviously. No re-do's - we need a solution.

    Just in case anyone is wondering, I used a new Windows 10 Pro Build 1803 ISO to perform a fresh Windows 10 installation. This issue has returned within a 2 day period. I am relegated to copying the OneDrive.exe file back to my AppData OneDrive local folder again.

    This is ridiculous.

    Problem has been impacting me for weeks - think it may be related to a Window Fall Creator 1803 upgrade.

    I have installed from OneDrive 18.111.0603.0004 and the problem still recurs.

    It sure would be nice to get some Microsoft help for a product I'm paying for with my Office subscription
