If you see the error message about the OneDrive error with full administrator privileges when you try to run the application, you are not alone.

The UAC allows an administrator to run OneDrive as normal

But why does OneDrive even work in the customer’s management account? Why doesn’t the software complain when it starts OneDrive normally on the desktop?

If we removed the UAC from the equation (by right-clicking on OneDrive.exe and selecting “Run as administrator”), we were able to reproduce the error immediately. read more
