Unable to disable OneDrive file on-demand

Anonymous

I changed my OneDrive local file store location last week.  Then I found I'm unable to uncheck "File On-Demand" option for OneDrive for business account.  When I click that option, a warning message pops-up.  When I click "OK",  there is no change for this setting.   Intetesting thing is, I can change the same setting for my personal OneDrive account, also able to change business OneDrive  settings on another machine.    Wondering if there is a setting to change or I have to reinstall/ reset OneDrive?

Thank you

    In settings/about page, you can click "insider preview" aka the next update.

    In my understanding, OneDrive will update to the next build, and it solved it for me.

    I was in exactly the same situation.

    Thanks, 100% working solution, tested on 2 PCs.

    Hi

    I tried this method. I could see the file activity in taskmanager. I could see the action in OneDrive (when I clicked the cloud). The problem is I cannot find the Documents and Pictures folders on the PC. Only on OneDrive.

    Any ideas?

    Worked for me too.

    Become an Insider: Settings | Windows Update | Windows Insider Program. Join, and be sure to select Beta Channel. If you choose Release Preview Channel, you will not get it. Go through the enrollment process. Wait five minutes. Go to Windows Update, and check. It installed Windows 10, version 20H2 for me.

    This solved the problem. I guess in five more days, they will start rolling it out, and this thread will no longer be needed.
