my files are saving to d.docs.live.net, why is this and how to I get my files back on my computer? I have windows 11

I have been troubleshooting this issue on a friend's PC just this past weekend, documents on OneDrive (Word, Excel) which you open in the program were lacking the file name in the program header (and location), and if you used the "Save as" button the file name was overwritten by "d.docs.live.net" by default.

The SOLUTION to the program was the FOLDER structure on OneDrive. My friend had the usual root folders like Desktop, Photos, Documents, Music etc. and then in the Documents folder there was *ANOTHER* Documents folder which appeared to also be somehow a system folder (the icon color was different). Only when dealing with files that send subfolder "Documents" the issue occured. The solution was to move all of the content up one level, into the original Documents folder.

I have the same issue. My Windows OS suddenly got wonky for no reason and one of the problems is it won't save my documents under the names I assign them. It instead saves them under d.docs.live.net and doesn't always save my changes!

What is going on and how do I resolve this? My laptop is less than one year old and also is running on Windows 11.

I agree. Its time microsoft sorted this.

How do you get to the onedrive notification icon? Ihave the same problem, its been more than frustruating

You should see an icon for OneDrive on the Windows taskbar.

If you are not seeing it there, you can access OneDrive from within File Explorer.

That was the problem too, thanks.
