OneDrive 26.198.1011.0006 on Windows 11 refuses to create its synchronization folder on my internal D: drive.

Drive: WDC WD10SPZX-60Z10T0.

Interface: SATA.

Partition style: GPT.

File system: NTFS.

DriveType: 3 (Fixed disk).

Operational status: Online.

OneDrive accepts C:\Users\User\OneDrive, but rejects both D:\OneDrive_personal and a newly created empty folder D:\ODTest.

Error: Your OneDrive folder can't be created in the location you selected.

Please investigate a possible drive classification regression in the OneDrive Windows sync client.

    This could be a OneDrive client issue, although a regression isn’t confirmed.

    I’d try Settings >> Apps >> Installed apps >> Microsoft OneDrive >> Uninstall, restart, then reinstall: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/reinstall-onedrive

    Keep your existing folders and select D:\ODTest during setup.

    If it still fails, did this D: location work before the update? Let me know, and I’ll follow up.
