Hi all, if you have been getting this image/pop up

Explorer.EXE This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page.

We are pretty sure it is due to OneDrive.

What the issue is with it - we are not sure - any ideas on how to fix this, that would be great!

Once we find a fix, I will mark as solution so others can take a look and see

Thanks,

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | Other | Windows

    I am also having this issue. For me it only seems to happen for users that are using both OneDrive for Business and OneDrive Personal.

    This solved the issue for me. Thank you so much for posting it. I was getting spammed non-stop by these alerts. There were missing adobe files in the autoruns listing. Deleted the handler and they instantly stopped.

    Another user has reported this

    It feels like it is spreading terminally

    Any one know a fix?

    Hi All,

    It has been a long time but this issue is still happening and cannot be replicated

    It is fact random

    There are no links between the users - I have checked OneDrive versions and all are on pretty much different versions...

    This issue seems terminal
