OneDrive Status Icons Missing in File Explorer After Update to Version 26.070.0414.0001

Apichai Jaihao 45

We are currently experiencing an issue where the OneDrive status column/icons are not showing on many computers. This happens on both existing laptops used daily and newly set up laptops during the first-time sync.

Although files are still syncing to the cloud successfully when updated, the OneDrive status icons are missing in File Explorer. When the status is not shown, some OneDrive functions such as file sharing are also not available.

We have tried several troubleshooting steps, including:

Unlinking this PC and signing in again
Reinstalling OneDrive
Clearing cache and restarting Explorer

However, the issue still persists.

We have just realized that this issue happens on devices that updated OneDrive to version 26.070.0414.0001. Devices still using the older version 26.063.0405.0002 are working properly.

Same problem.. started when OneDrive upgraded to 26.070.0414.0001

object icons are also showing the "brown file box" overlay on the icon.

Windows 11 enterprise 25H2, 10.0.26200 build 26200 (winver: 26200.8246)

Same problem here with OneDrive version "Build 26.074.0420.0001 (64 bits)". Occurred for the first time two weeks ago on my laptop running Windows 11 Home edition build 26200.8457. I have uninstalled and reinstalled OneDrive, ran onedrive.exe /reset, and reviewed all policies and settings. Nothing has resolved the issue, except a complete new Windows 11 clean install.
Unfortunately it seems to be only a temporary workaround, since the issue re-appeared yesterday. Not only on my laptop, but now also on my desktop (running the same version of Windows 11 and OneDrive).
Just to be sure I checked my old Windows 10 laptop (stil supported until october 2026): everything works just fine. I also checked the laptop of my wife (also running the same version Windows 11 and OneDrive); everything still functioning as expected. Now I have run out of ideas what the root-cause could be and how to fix this.
Note: I use my microsoft credentials on every system mentionned above, all personal data resides in the OneDrive cloud.

Hi there,

Is there any update on this issue? Will an update be provided to restore the status icon? This is a company wide problem for us, and we cannot simply go round resetting everyone's OneDrive.

Thanks.

This appears to be resolved for me now. I performed a OneDrive reset and I can see the sync icons and the correct share dialogue.

I am running version 26.095.0519.0003

How to perform OneDrive reset:

Press Windows Key + R copy and paste this path, and hit Enter:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

The issue appears to be related to the OneDrive update to version 26.095.0519.0003. I unlinked the OneDrive account and signed in again, and it is now working properly.

I had the same issue with the missing OneDrive Status Icons. I downloaded and installed 2026-07 Preview Update (KB5101684) (26200.8973) from Settings: Windows Update, restarted my PC and the Icons have all returned.
