Fix OneDrive Crash

All of a sudden OneDrive keeps crashing on my ThinkPad X13s, which is currently running Windows 11 Insider Preview build 22632.1000.0 for ARM64.

(Quick side note – I am a total WoA convert. Running Windows on ARM with ARM-specific builds for my usual tools is awesome.)

The Event Viewer shows a bunch of these:

And let me tell you, that’s annoying. I kinda need OneDrive to work.

Anyway! All you have to do is find the OneDrive update file at the following location:

%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\Update\update.xml

Open it, and you should see something similar to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <update throttle="100" rescan="1440" currentversion="22.131.0619.0001" maxapplicable="22.999.9999.9999" minapplicable="16.000.0000.0000">

  </update>

Use the proper link to download the version of OneDriveSetup.exe that you need. In my case, it’s the arm64binary link.

Then, run the following:

.\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall
.\OneDriveSetup.exe

Sign back into your OneDrive account(s) and you’ll be all set.
