My OneDrive icon in the system tray has a grey-out color. How do I sign in to OneDrive to make it a blue icon?

    If you don’t have an account signed in to OneDrive, use these instructions to start OneDrive.

    1. Select the Start button, search for “OneDrive”, and then open it:
      • In Windows 10 or 11, select OneDrive. Screenshot of searching for the OneDrive desktop app in Windows 10
    2. When OneDrive Setup starts, enter your personal account, or your work or school account, and select Sign in. Screenshot of the first screen of OneDrive Setup
