It's not your PC: Windows 10 2004 is causing errors with OneDrive files and Microsoft is already aware of the problem

"

Microsoft continues to distribute the new version of its operating system to compatible computers. A staggered deployment that seeks to prevent a possible failure or bug in the system from damaging a greater number of computers. With this progressive release, putting the brakes on the distribution in the event of a failure is easier and leaves fewer people affected along the way."

The truth is that the American company has been having no luck in terms of updates for some time now.No matter how much effort they put into the prior review process and after passing through the Insider Program channels, the truth is that failures creep in, perhaps too many. In Windows 10 2004 we have already seen some and how they have released a corrective patch. And now, it's time to talk about a new bug that affects files downloaded from OneDrive.

OneDrive, a new fail in Windows 10

Windows 10 May 2020 Update seems to be causing some computers to crash so that users are finding it impossible to download new files or open previously synced or downloaded filesfrom OneDrive. When trying to do so, they are encountering the following error message.

A problem that Microsoft is already aware of, reporting the error on the support page and how already working on an update that corrects it .

And while that correction arrives, propose two solutions that, although temporary, allow us to get by. The first proposal to follow these steps:

Using the troubleshooter

"
• Select Start>Troubleshooting"
"
• Select Solve configuration problems"
"
• Select View History in the Troubleshooting section>" "
• If the troubleshooter has attempted to run, you will see a recommended troubleshooter with the title, File Troubleshooter On Demand and description. You may have lost access to your Streamed Files. This troubleshooter restores access or prevents access from being lost in the near future. Important: Reboot your device after the troubleshooter has finished."
• "If you managed to run it successfully, the message ran successfully on will appear with the date it was run. If it failed to run successfully, we&39;ll see the message Failed to run on with the date it was run."
• Important is that if the device has not rebooted since running the troubleshooter, you will need to do so before following the rest of the steps to complete the mitigation.
• Important: To verify that Files On-Demand is still enabled, you must right-click or hold the icon OneDrive in the notification area and select Settings .
• "In the OneDrive dialog box, select the Settings tab and verify that Save space and download files as they are used is enabled, and then select the OK button ."
• If more than one OneDrive account is being used within the app or you are using OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business, you will need to repeat steps 5 and 6 for each account.
• The OneDrive app should now connect and run as expected.

If the above steps do not provide satisfactory results, you can follow the workaround below.

Workaround with manual steps

• "Select the Start button and type cmd."
• "Right-click or hold down the command prompt and select Run as administrator."
"
• Type or copy and paste the following command into the Command Prompt dialog box: reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cldflt\instances /f /v DefaultInstance /t REG_SZ /d CldFlt."
• Reboot the device after the command has completed.
• To verify that Files On-Demand is still enabled, you must right-click or long-press the OneDrive icon in the notification area, select Settings .
• "In the Settings dialog, you must confirm that Save space and download files as you use them is enabled, and then select the OK button."
• If you are using more than one OneDrive account within the app or are using OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business, you will need to repeat steps 5 and 6 for each account.
• The OneDrive app should now connect and run as expected.

These are the temporary solutions proposed by Microsoft to patch a new problem, another one, with a Windows 10 update.
