I'm having the same problem. Restarting and resetting did not work. Need an answer.

i repeated all of these steps multiple times, restarted my pc, checked that the date was right on my pc (it sometimes changes to a future date) and it miraculously re-started after about 5 or 6 repeats of all of the steps.

Hi,

I had the same problem. I just selected "pause syncing" and then started syncing again. It solved the problem.

Best,

and then i tried the following steps

unlink the account

reset per the instructions from Jason

%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

then log in again and it started working again. on my pc at least it looks like multiple steps are needed to restart.
