OneDrive should start when your computer turns on. By default, all UConn-managed Windows computers will have OneDrive start at login.

Follow this guide if you find that OneDrive is not automatically starting.

## Windows

1. Click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.
2. Click on the Settings gear.
3. In Windows, you will see the **Start OneDrive when I sign into Windows** option. Ensure that is selected.

Continue if OneDrive still does not start with your computer.

1. Open Task Manager using the **Ctrl+Shift+Esc **keyboard shortcut.
2. Choose the **Startup** tab, represented by a car gauge icon.
3. Find OneDrive in the list and make sure it is enabled.

## macOS

1. Open **System Settings**.
2. Navigate to **General → Login Items & Extensions**
3. Under **Open at Login**, click the :plus: icon. Navigate to your Applications folder and select OneDrive.
4. Under **App Background Activity**, find OneDrive. Make sure it is enabled if not already.
