I opened up bitdefender gui and said needed to restart for an update,so i restarted.Upon startup got couldnt find your onedrive folder(from windows) and had to setup onedrive AGAIN and sync all of my folders.This really needs to be looked into and fixed.

Bitdefender you need to look into it and fix it

onedrive warning in windows 10 who use bitdefender 2018

in protection features/safe files make sure you have protection at boot OFF. i learned the hard way! having this on disrupts onedrive when booting up your machine. what happens is when you boot up your machine it says it cannot connect to your onedrive, it keeps popping up multiple windows to sign in to it and multiple windows of onedrive file explorer. it goes on and on until you select to sign in to onedrive yourself and wants to start onedrive all over again as if you are setting up for the first time. then you have to wait for all your files and folders to sync online and go green and then when you reboot/start your machine the whole thing start all over again! having safe files protection at boot off and you will not get any more problems.

Thank you for posting that information. That used to occur to me all the time on my laptop, and I could not figure out the cause. When I upgraded to 2018 BDTS months ago, the problem disappeared. The next time that I have my laptop on, I check the "Safe Files: Protection at Boot" switch to make sure that it is off. I just checked my main desktop computer and that switch is OFF.

Have a great day.
