Hi,

I have some audio files that will not open anymore. It says under the "status" colomn that the files are "excluded from sync". What does this mean? And how do I get my audio files to play again?

Thanks.

    Hi Aaron. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Are you syncing files to OneDrive using it's Backup explained here:

    If so then you can right click certain files to exclude from Syncing.

    As to why your audio files won't play, what is the file type?

    To repair corrupted audio files see here:
