Jim:
OneDrive is cloud based. It is never really running on your machine; your files sit in a designated storage space on a server that identifies you by your login credentials. In order for you to open an attachment, you have to be logged into the correct OneDrive account. Check your OneDrive settings and verify the location. If you are accessing a file that is located on a Work and School OneDrive account then your local OneDrive must use the same login for that account to access the file. For example: ******@oatmeal.com is attached to a Work and School account and requires an exact username and password to sync and access files.
If you do not have OneDrive, download it and try to login in again:
Download the OneDrive App for PC, Mac, Android, or iOS – Microsoft OneDrive
OneDrive Settings:
Manage files and folders in OneDrive - Microsoft Support
How to access OneDrive settings - Microsoft Support

Keep in mind that if you never had a OneDrive that came with your Microsoft 365 or Windows 11 Pro purchase or if the account has not been provisioned via your Work and School account, you cannot access files. You can never access a cloud location that doesn't exist via Microsoft Live for personal accounts.
