How to find out, what policy is blocking OneDrive from starting. (You systemadministrator has blocked the programm)

Question

Hello, i've just installed a fresh laptop with win 11 for testing purpose.

Everything was working fine after installation, somehow one day later, i cant start onedrive anymore. Just nothing is happening when trying to open ist. When trying to deinstall it, it says the programm was blocked by your administrator.

How can i find out what policy might block onedrive from starting?

Laptop has fresh installation and got configured by intune. Basic Win defender configuration applied and apps for m365 installed.

Best regards

@Marius Leitzgen, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

Currently, there is no such related policies in Intune that can block OneDrive starting.

For the error message, the troubleshoot steps in this thread are helpful based on my research.

Non-official, just for reference.

After that, you can try to uninstall OneDrive and re-install it to see if you can start it. By the way, could you please share with us what kind of program you cannot start? Did you cannot start OneDrive program, or you cannot start OneDrive sync or something else you cannot start?

Please try above information, if there is any update, feel free to let us know.
