OneDrive Will Not Run MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

I have had Office 365, including OneDrive running on this Mac for several years. Yesterday, OneDrive updated itself (I have the Microsoft AutoUpdater set to automatically download and install updates) to version 23.061.0319. Following that update, it will not run.

I click on the icon in the launchpad, nothing happens

I click on the icon within Finder->Applications, nothing happens

I do not get an error message, there is nothing in the system log, it does not show up in application monitor, it seems to be just dead.

Here is what the system says about the OneDrive.app:

OneDrive:

  Version: 23.061.0319

  Obtained from: Identified Developer

  Last Modified: 4/3/23, 3:18 PM

  Signed by: Developer ID Application: Microsoft Corporation (UBF8T346G9), Developer ID Certification Authority, Apple Root CA

  Location: /Applications/OneDrive.app

  Kind: 64-bit

If I run Microsoft AutoUpdate, this is what it shows for Microsoft products:

None of the Office products is up to date (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook). They are all on version 16.66 because the next version, 16.71 requires an OS Update, which will never come, because this macbook (Macbook Air, mid 2012) is too old and Catalina 10.15.7 is the most upgraded it can get.

Only OneDrive is up to date, v23061.0319, installed yesterday on 4/3/2023.

What can I do to get back to a previous version of OneDrive so that it works??? This sucks that it did not recognize that the most current version is not compatible with my laptop.

    As always, Microsoft is the worst company and has worst product in the world.

    Totally ridiculous that they make updates so people using MAC OS 10.15.7 cannot use one drive onedrive.

    I have always hated Microsoft more than my worst enemy, and I think now it's time to move away from onedrive and office365.

    My life will be 1000 times better without Microsoft, and I really hope that this company goes bankrupt one day because they are the worst in the world.

    It worked!

    I'm having some problems, such as OneDrive Options not opening, but the app works.

    I sincerely hope this is just a bug and Microsoft fixes it. Because it may make sense that Catalina is no longer supported, but it's not right that the automatic and mandatory update disables the software. It should just NOT update.

    I have the exact same problem as my work also depends on OneDrive. But I can tell you I will move away from this **** product now and also move away from any MS products.

    As Mac users, we should never use any Microsoft products, and we should do anything in our power to tell all our friends never to use Microsoft because it is the worst product in the world, made by the worst amateurs in the world.

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for the info, but the link you sent does not have any versions listed for OneDrive, which is what I have the issue with.

    Second, it appears that there is some piece of OneDrive that gets launched and cannot be stopped. I have always had OneDrive set to autostart. The past two days, my laptop would not shut down, instead it would just sit with the spinning wheel until I held the power button down. Then I changed the OneDrive to not autostart and then I can shut down. / restart my laptop with out any issues.

    I am going to dump the system to see what thread is launched by OneDrive before the bulk of the package fails and see if I can recover a previous version of the package files for OneDrive files from my Time Machine.

    Marty
