How to update onedrive

Dear John,

Here is how to update it manually:

1. Select the OneDrive cloud icon near the clock, open Settings, then go to About and note the version number.
2. Download the latest version from Microsoft OneDrive.
3. Run the downloaded OneDriveSetup.exe. This updates the existing installation in place, your cloud files are not affected and your sync folders do not need recreating.
4. Restart OneDrive by opening Start, searching for OneDrive, and selecting the desktop app.

One thing worth checking first: are these work or school PCs managed by an IT department? If so, OneDrive updates are often controlled centrally or held back on a slower update ring, which would explain why they are not updating on their own. In that case a manual reinstall will work, but the same thing will happen again at the next release unless the policy is changed.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
