Very long time in status "looking for change"

Question

I have 3 folders on the networks in onedrive folders with 50k files.

When I launch OneDrive, the time that remain in "looking for change" is very very long (some time 3/4 hours)

In a previous installation in another computer the time taken was a maximum of 30 minutes

How it's possible to optimize (clear a cache ? reduce a DB ?, ...) to reduce the waiting time without resync everythings ?

Thanks

Hi @Stefano Berni

According to "OneDrive stuck on Processing changes", you may following some tips.

When you just signed in and this issue occurs, you may run an internet speed test to make sure the problem is not elsewhere.

Besides, please select the OneDrive cloud icon in the taskbar/menu bar to show the list of all files open, being synced or have recently synced. Check whether there is any temporary or hidden file blocks sync.

If the message remains, I suggest you Unlink and re-link OneDrive and run command to Reset your OneDrive.
