Login via Taskbar Access
We have seen specific behaviors in several cases where users have accessed the Google player through Windows Explorer. They assumed they were connected, but in reality they were not. They accessed the local copy of Google Drive stored on their computer. If you are prompted to connect to the drive at startup, do so. If this is not the case, you can use the taskbar to check the current status.
- Locate the Google Drive icon in the taskbar by clicking on the upper arrow (you will see it on the front if it is not moved backwards).
- As soon as you click on the button, a new window opens containing the application’s connection information. Here you must save your access data for Google Drive and log in.
Disable the Firewall and Antivirus
As mentioned above, the Windows firewall or third-party antivirus programs (such as Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, McAfee and IObit) may prevent Windows 10 from synchronizing to the Google Player. Therefore, it is important to temporarily disable the Windows and Internet Firewall/Antivirus options in the Security tab to completely disable the security level. Temporarily can refer to the duration of your Google Drive installation, or maybe if you use Google Drive.
Tip: This is not a good way to permanently disable all security forces. If your Google player only works when the firewall is disabled, you should disable security and use the Google player if necessary. After use, you must standardize the security backup again. Yes, this is not practical for most users. So do this until you find another workaround.
Expert Tip: This repair tool scans the repositories and replaces corrupt or missing files if none of these methods have worked. It works well in most cases where the problem is due to system corruption. This tool will also optimize your system to maximize performance. It can be downloaded by Clicking Here
