- On your computer’s desktop, go to Start > All apps > Microsoft OneDrive (newer version) and click “Settings” in the bottom left corner of it. *Click “Sign-in with our app.” *Click the “I don’t have an account yet” button under the Sign up for an account section.
3. Uninstall And Reinstall The Microsoft Edge Browser

4. Check Your Internet Connection
- If you’re still having trouble with OneDrive, it’s time to ensure your Internet connection is working.
- Check that there are no firewalls or other software blocking access to OneDrive on Windows 10/8/7 (or anything else) if the problem is with a firewall setting or other software that could be blocking access to OneDrive.
5. Clear The Cache Files In Your Browser
Invoke Microsoft Edge. Choose “Settings” from the menu that appears when you click the menu button (three horizontal bars). Select “Clear browsing data.”Check the boxes and press “Clear Now.”
6. Turn Off Safe Browsing And Javascript In Microsoft Edge
- You can turn off safe browsing and JavaScript in Microsoft Edge.
- To turn off safe browsing and JavaScript in Microsoft Edge, Go to settings and select “Advanced.” Under “Privilege Level,” like “User Accounts” from the left-hand dropdown menu. Select your user profile from this list (the one you’re using to troubleshoot this issue). In the right-hand column, scroll down until you see “Web Content Settings” at the bottom of your screen. Here you’ll find an option titled “Use Extension.” If this option defaults, uncheck it by clicking on its label or icon—it will look like an empty circle with an X inside it.

- To restart the computer, press the power button on your laptop or desktop. Wait for Windows 10 to shut down and then restart it again.
