A small fix release: the fix now works on PCs shared by more than one person.

Fixed

  • "The fix can't start right now ... UserSyncRoots: Access is denied". In 0.8.0 to 0.9.0, if anyone else had ever used OneDrive on the same PC, clicking Fix stopped with "some of OneDrive's settings could not be read (...SyncRootManager\OneDrive!S-1-12-1-...\UserSyncRoots: Access is denied.)" and event 5013 was logged. The tool read every user's OneDrive sync-folder registrations, but Windows lets only their owner read them, and since 0.8.0 any unreadable setting stops the fix. It now reads only the signed-in user's own. Other people's sync folders can't be inside this user's profile, which is the only place a fix ever touches.
  • Nothing was at risk before: the tool refused and changed nothing. This mostly affected Remote Desktop session hosts and shared workstations.

All the other safety rules are unchanged: if the user's own OneDrive settings can't be read, no fix is planned.

Upgrading

Run OneDriveHelper.exe install from the new zip, or re-run the RMM install script on the project page, which is updated for this release. Your settings carry over.
