The latest update to OneDrive is speculatively crashing Sharepoint in Windows 11. This file-hosting service from the Redmond giant is usually the go-to choice for Windows users due to its deep integration with the OS. However, as of late, it seems to be crashing the web-based collaborative platform. Initially, the culprit was assumed to be the latest OS update released as part of Patch Tuesday.
However, there are a few users who haven’t yet installed this update version KB5022303 (OS Build 22621.1105) but are still getting bugged by this issue. So all fingers are currently being pointed a the latest update to the file-hosting service. Moreover, the issue tends to get triggered upon every restart of the PC.
Digging the Even Viewer log of the affected users, the source of the issue was an Application Error whose Event Data clearly stated the App Name as Microsoft.SharePoint.exe. So this begs the all-important question- is there a fix? Let’s check it out.
