    Hi, CraigLong

    I have same problem. I open the page that you provide, but I can't see the the screen as shown on that page after signing in my OneDrive.

    Can you provide more details so I can follow to restore my files from OnDrive?

    Best Regards,

    Sky King

    Hi, Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Please see this article. It will help you to recover your files and clean your computer: Ransomware detection and recovering your files

    When Microsoft 365 detects a ransomware attack, you'll receive a notification on your device and an email from Microsoft 365. If you're not a subscriber, your first notification and recovery are free. See available plans.

    I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any problems.

    Best Regards,

    Craig
