OneDrive: "Status" column missing sometimes

Question

Hello,

sometimes, the "Status" column for OneDrive folders in Windows Explorer (which shows if newly added files have already been uploaded) is missing.

Here is a screenshot (in German) with the status column, which is unfortunately sometimes missing:

This bug only appears since the update from Windows 10 to 11.

Only known workaround is to restart Windows.

Could you check and fix this bug, please?

Answer 1

This is unfortunately a known issue with no solid fix at the moment. The best advice is to restart Windows or the Explorer process when the column vanishes. Monitor Windows and OneDrive updates for future fixes—Microsoft is aware, and a patch is likely forthcoming. Until then, patience is needed—the bug lies with the current Windows 11 architecture and OneDrive’s Explorer extension.

Your screenshot is helpful and clearly shows what the "Status" column should look like when functioning properly. Keeping this as visual evidence is useful if escalating further to Microsoft support or forums.
