OneDrive sign in!

Hi again, I am a little confused about signing into my Microsoft account. Over the last few weeks things have changed slightly. After logging in with my Microsoft account everything seems to be available. My OneDrive icon is on the taskbar and seems to be synchronising ok. I have a live OneDrive tile which I use to check files etc. Normally it would open straight away but not now, I must sign in every time! Sometimes my files show for a few seconds then it quickly goes to the sign in page (attached). Is this normal and part of some security update? I even must sign into the “Community” now despite me logging in to my Microsoft account when starting up.

A little confused!

    Hi again Mitchell, since my last post a few hours ago I have been trying various things etc. Like I said earlier, if I reset the Edge browser and clear search history under those "three horizontal" lines (Bing opening page) the OneDrive works again without signing in! I have found out today just by clearing the search history (without resetting) does the same! After awhile after using the browser I have to it again!

    Unsure what's causing this!

    Hi Mitchell, the problem with the OneDrive sign in again didn't last long! I changed my Microsoft account password to something stronger, but it is happening again! The only way I can get it back to normal is "Reset" the Edge browser! I normally do this every few days or so. I go into settings and reset, I then set things up again, opening page etc and clear junk etc etc. I am a bit of a maintenance freak always clearing junk etc. I find my laptop is more responsive and my "OneDrive" works correctly but only for awhile! It is certainly not the lack of maintenance and updates (check daily).

    Any ideas?

    PS while typing this my OneDrive is working fine but I have just "Reset" Edge again!

    Hi Mitchell, thanks for that it seems to have solved the problem! I have followed the instructions you sent me and changed password. I have made it a longer and more secure password this time!

    Thanks again

    Brian
