Settings showing Unicode inproperly

Anonymous

My system version: Windows 11 23H2 beta 22635.2771

Onedrive version 23.231.1107.0002 (x64)

My Windows locale is zh-cn, but the Onedrive settings is in such a mad condition:

I need to edit some features but none of these is correctly shown. I cannot read it at all.

Please help me with such condition.

Everything is the same no matter the account logged in is a personal account or a bussiness one.

Answer 1

Download this version of OneDrive, I had the same thing and it worked. This is from the official Microsoft installer website.

https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Win/Installers/23.239.1116.0001/amd64/OneDriveSetup.exe

It should be a bug with Onedrive and a newer version have fixed that.

I get an update with Windows Update and everything is okay now.

The current version: 23.246.1127.0002 (AMD64)

Answer 3

I tried removing and installing Onedrive and enabling UTF-8 support and nothing different happened.

I tried resetting the font settings and nothing happened.

The third link is about opening a file in Microsoft Word, but not running a program.

Is this an issue with Onedrive?

To be exact, “内部版本” and 保留所有权力 are shown properly, and all ANSII characters are shown in a proper way.

Hi Son,

Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconveniences,
