How to Fix “OneDrive.exe – Entry Point Not Found” Error?

The error “OneDriveSetup.exe – Entry Point Not Found” occurs when the OneDrive installer tries to access a system function that’s either missing or corrupted in your Windows files. This issue is common on older Windows versions (like Windows 7 or 8) or outdated systems with incomplete updates.

It can also happen due to interrupted OneDrive updates or conflicts with background tasks. Below are four easy solutions to fix this error.

1. Install Update KB3080149 (For Windows 7 and 8 Only)

Older Windows versions lack critical system libraries needed for apps like OneDrive. The KB3080149 update adds these libraries, resolving dependency errors.

1. Go to the Microsoft Update Catalog and search for KB3080149.
2. Download the version matching your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts.

Restart your computer after installation to apply changes.

2. Reset OneDrive

If the error persists, resetting OneDrive clears cached data and resets settings without deleting your files. Works on all Windows versions.

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type this command and press Enter:

   %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

   

3. If you see “Windows cannot find…“, use this command instead:

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

   

4. Wait 2–3 minutes for the reset to finish. OneDrive may restart automatically.

   

5. Press Win + S, type OneDrive, and open it from the Start menu.

3. Reinstall OneDrive

A clean install removes corrupted files or settings. Back up unsynced files first.

1. Press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and press Enter to open installed programs.
2. Locate Microsoft OneDrive, right-click it, and select Uninstall.
3. Download the latest OneDrive installer from Microsoft’s website.
4. Run the installer and follow the setup steps.

4. Disable OneDrive’s Standalone Update Task (Older Windows)

On older systems, automatic OneDrive updates can conflict with the app. Disabling this task stops problematic updates.

1. Press Win + R, type taskschd.msc, and press Enter.

   

2. Navigate to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > OneDrive.
3. Right-click OneDrive Standalone Update Task and select Disable.
