One Drive folders changed to Internet Shortcuts - FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!

In June 2024, my shared One Drive folders changed to Internet Shortcuts. Despite trying any suggestions we could find, and hearing nothing but canned responses from MicroSoft, we opted to spend a weekend changing to a new email address / MicroSoft / One Drive account after 6 months of frustration.

Today, that new account once again changed my One Drive folders to Internet shortcuts. Besides going through the entire new email address process again, have I missed any workarounds for this?

    Today my shared folder shortcuts have turned back into actual folders in OneDrive

    IT'S A MIRACLE!

    They can't be selected/unselected in the 'choose folders' list on OneDrive settings but IT'S WORKING (for now)

    This has just begun happening to me in April 2025. I’m working around it but I’m impatiently waiting for the fix.
