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 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.

As far as I know, the d.docs.live.net part is only the path, not the actual file name. However, I haven't experienced this myself, so maybe I'm missing something.

Are you opening files directly from OneDrive, for example via File > Open, or are you synchronizing files via the OneDrive app?

I agree. Its time microsoft sorted this.

Hi Stefan,

In my case, the documents get the NAME d.docs.live.net, which overwrites the original file name and then OneDrive insists there are inconsistencies and refuses to save the file under the name I want it to be saved.

Have you seen this?

I do need to save to OneDrive instead of locally, so I can't disconnect from OneDrive. But, I do not understand why OneDrive changes a filename and creates confusion.

Thanks for your help

Heidi
