In this bug, when you try to open a shared folder in File Explorer, it takes you to the OneDrive website instead of showing your files. Due to which, pushing the user to the OneDrive site without showing the correct information is causing the problem.
We are getting to see many problems in the June update KB5039302 of Windows 11. Which includes many problems like Taskbar Issues and endless Windows restarting. Now we are getting to see these problems on OneDrive as well. Apart from this, Microsoft has also stopped the feature update of the dev version of Windows 11.
Your folders are also appearing as internet shortcuts instead of normal folders. It seems as if your computer has forgotten how to say “folder”.
This problem of OneDrive is becoming big because when you are working with your document files, it spoils the condition of those files working together properly. It does sync some files. But what happens is that it is not able to provide offline access.
