Restarting OneDrive

(Windows 11, System Tray Method)

1. Locate the system tray

   • Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen on the taskbar.

   • This area shows icons for background apps (Wi-Fi, sound, battery, etc.).

2. Reveal hidden icons

   • If you don’t see the OneDrive cloud icon (white for personal, blue for work/school), click the small upward arrow ^ (Show hidden icons).

   • A small pop-up will appear with additional app icons.

3. Find the OneDrive icon

   • Look for the cloud symbol:

     • White cloud = Personal OneDrive

     • Blue cloud = Work/School OneDrive

4. Close OneDrive

   • Right-click the OneDrive cloud icon.

   • In the menu, select Close OneDrive (or sometimes it just says Exit).

   • A confirmation window may pop up — click Close OneDrive again.

5. Restart OneDrive

   • Click the Start button (Windows icon in the bottom left).

   • Type OneDrive in the search box.

   • Click on the OneDrive app from the results to launch it again.

   • The cloud icon should reappear in the system tray once it restarts.
