Onedrive for business is uninstalled after you upgrade to office 2016

Problem

This article contains information that applies when you use the OneDrive for Business sync client (groove.exe).

NOTE: To determine which OneDrive sync client you're using, see the Which OneDrive sync client am I using? 

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have Microsoft Office 365 Personal or Office 365 Home installed on your computer.

  • You upgrade from Microsoft Office 2013 to Office 2016.

In this scenario, you experience one of the following issues:

  • OneDrive for Business is uninstalled and can't be reinstalled.

  • If you had OneDrive for Business installed separately from Office 2013, you receive the following message when you install Office 2016:

    We need to remove some older apps

    Some older apps don't work with Office 2016. Before installing the new Office, we need to remove [list of apps].

Solution/Workaround

This is a known issue. We're working to address this issue and will continue to post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for your situation.

Method 1: Use a custom installation of Office 2016 to extract OneDrive for Business

For more information, go to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: 3175950 How to install the OneDrive for Business sync client for SharePoint 2013 and later and SharePoint Online when using Office 2016 applications.

Method 2: Connect to your site library by using Explorer View, by creating a mapped network drive, or by using a web browser

Connect to your site library by using Explorer View or by creating a mapped network drive. You can also use a web browser to interact with your libraries in Microsoft SharePoint Online.

For information about how to connect to your site library by using Explorer View or about how to create a mapped network drive, go to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

More information

This issue occurs because OneDrive for Business was installed as a separate package from Microsoft Office. For example, Office 2013 Home and Student Edition was installed, and then OneDrive for Business was installed separately by using a different installer package.

What to do when a malicious file is found in sharepoint online onedrive or microsoft teams

You've come across a file in SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, or Microsoft Teams, but you're unable to open or share it. You can see the file is there, but it's blocked and the file has a warning icon next to it:

Screenshot of files in OneDrive for Business with one detected as malicious

Delete the file (recommended)

To protect yourself, your computer, and your organization, the best option is to delete the file. From the OneDrive mobile app, your only option is to delete the file.

  1. Select the file you want to delete (on the mobile app, press and hold to select it).

  2. Select Delete.

    Screenshot of deleting a blocked file from OneDrive for Business from the OneDrive mobile app

    Deleting in the OneDrive mobile app

Download the file (if your organization allows it)

If your organization allows it, you can download the file by viewing your OneDrive in a web browser. You can then clean the file by whatever means your organization recommends.

  1. Go to: https://www.office.com/signin, and sign in with the username and password you use with your work or school account.

    Notes: 

  2. Select OneDrive.

  3. Select the file you want to download, and then select Download.

    Screenshot of downloading a blocked file in OneDrive for Business

Why is a file in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Microsoft Teams blocked?

The file is blocked to help protect you, your computer, and your organization from malware.

Certain safety features are in place in Microsoft 365 such that a malicious file can be identified in SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, or Microsoft Teams. If a file in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Microsoft Teams is deemed malicious, that file is blocked so that no one can open it. A blocked file has a marker after its file name, like this:

Screenshot of a file in OneDrive for Business detected as malicious

Although it can be inconvenient for a file to be blocked, getting infected with malware is even worse. Cybercriminals use ransomware, technical support scams, or unwanted software to compromise users and computers. Once cybercriminals get access to user credentials or sensitive information, they can use that information to gain access to more information or other users, or even charge fraudulent fees. To learn more, see Understand the different malware types.

What can I do to avoid running into malicious files in the future?

Although cybercriminals continue to find new ways to trick people with malware, there are steps you can take to help protect you and your computer.

To learn more about how malware works and how to prevent malware infection, see Help prevent malware infection on your PC.

What do I do if I think the system made a mistake?

If your organization uses Microsoft 365 Advanced Threat Protection and a file is blocked that you think should not be, you'll need some help from a Microsoft 365 administrator who can research the issue and, potentially, unblock the file. To learn more about what Microsoft 365 administrators do, see About Microsoft 365 admin roles.

Use a screen reader to build an expression in access desktop databases

Read out loud symbol with the label Screen reader content. This topic is about using a screen reader with Office

This article is for people with visual impairments who use a screen reader program with the Office products and is part of the Office Accessibility content set. For more general help, see Office Support home.

Use Access with your keyboard and a screen reader to build an expression in an Access desktop database. We have tested it with Narrator, JAWS, and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. You can use expressions to accomplish many kinds of tasks in a database. For more information on expressions, see Learn to build an expression

Notes: 

In this topic

Create a calculated field in a query

By adding a calculated field to a query, you can display the results of a calculation that uses the other fields in the query.

To add a calculated field:

  1. Open the query you want to add the calculated field to in the Navigation pane.

  2. Press F6 until you hear "Status bar," followed by the currently active view.

  3. Press the Right arrow key until you hear "Design view," and press Enter. The focus returns to the first empty cell on the Field row of the query in the Design view.

  4. In the empty cell, write the equation you want displayed in the calculated field. First enter the name for the field, followed by a colon, then the expression whose result you want to display in that field. For example, to create a field called "Total" that displays the sum of fields called "Price" and "Tax", write: Total: [Price] + [Tax].

Set default values for a table field

You can use an expression to specify a default value for a field in a table – a value that Access uses for new records unless another value is provided.

  1. Open the table you want in the Navigation pane.

  2. Press F6 until you hear "Status bar," followed by the currently active view.

  3. Press the Right arrow key until you hear "Datashwet view," and press Enter. The focus returns to the table in Datasheet view.

  4. To navigate to the field you want to add a default value to, press the Right or Left arrow key until you hear "Column," followed by the name of the field you want.

  5. To open the Expression Builder for the default value of the field, press Alt+J, B, V, D.

  6. Enter the expression for the default value. For example, to add the default value of 4 for a field, enter =4.

    Note: You must start the expression with the equals sign (=).

  7. Press the Tab key until you hear "OK button," and press Enter.

Add a validation rule to a table field or record

In tables, there are two kinds of validation rules: field validation rules (which prevent users from entering bad data in a single field), and record validation rules (which prevent users from creating records that don't meet the validation rule). You use expressions for both kinds of validation rules.

To add a validation rule:

  1. Open the table you want in the Navigation pane.

  2. Press F6 until you hear "Status bar," followed by the currently active view.

  3. Press the Right arrow key until you hear "Dataset view," and press Enter. The focus returns to the table in Dataset view.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To open the expression builder for a field validation rule, navigate to the field you want by pressing the Right or Left arrow key until you hear "Column," followed by the name of the field. Then press Alt+J, B, V, A, F.

    • To open the expression builder for a record validation rule, press Alt+J, B, V, A, R.

  5. Enter the criteria that you want. For example, to make sure that the value of a field is 10 or greater, enter the criteria > 9 in the expression builder.

    Note: Validation rule expressions are Boolean, which means that they are either True or False for any given input value. A validation rule must be True for the value or Access doesn't save the input and displays a validation message indicating the error.

  6. Press the Tab key until you hear "OK button," and press Enter.

Add a validation message to a table field or record

To make your database easier to use, you can enter custom validation messages. These replace the generic messages that Access displays when data does not match a validation rule. You can use custom validation message to provide specific information that helps the user enter the correct data.

  1. Open the table you want in the Navigation pane.

  2. Press F6 until you hear "Status bar," followed by the currently active view.

  3. Press the Right arrow key until you hear "Datasheet view," and press Enter. The focus returns to the table in Datasheet view.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To add a field validation message, navigate to the field you want by pressing the Right or Left arrow key until you hear "Column," followed by the name of the field. Then press Alt+J, B, V, A, V.

    • To add a record validation message, press Alt+J, B, V, A, M.

  5. Enter a validation message, then press the Tab key until you hear "OK button," and press Enter. For example, to inform the user that the value of a field must be 10 or greater, enter the following validation message: The value of the field must equal 10 or higher.

Work with suppliers to bring products to market faster

New product design specs, production plans, and quality requirements can easily get lost in email threads. You need one central location to store your important documentation and quickly get input from suppliers on capacity, component updates, and general feedback.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Details  

Work across the supplier chain by bringing everyone into Microsoft Teams. Discuss important updates on supplier capacity and upload product design documentation to Teams for everyone to reference. Use @mentions to ping experts for advice or to review new documents. Because documents uploaded to Teams are automatically saved to SharePoint, you can easily edit and review documents in real time with anyone. 

Keep product development and production on track by setting up tasks, resources, and budgets with Project in Teams. Use audio or video calling to discuss project timelines and share your screen to easily show and manage presentations in your meeting.

Highlights

  • Store and share supply information all in one place.

  • Communicate project timelines and assign tasks easily.

  • Keep development on track with chat, audio, or video calling.

The Q&A moderator panel is a separate application that launches within in the browser. It can be started independently from the Skype Meeting Broadcast.

  1. On the Meeting details page, in the Attendee page settings section, click Open Q&A.

    Get the link to the Q&A panel

    Note: The organizer might send you a link to the Q&A moderator panel in email, in which case you can just click the link in the email to access the panel.

Make an announcement

The moderator has the option to make announcements that are visible for all attendees.

  3. Type the answer to the question, and then click broadcast to make both the question and the answer visible to all attendees.

Answer questions in private

Users can ask questions without revealing their identity by clicking ask anonymously in the Q&A panel. Attendee questions are not visible to other attendees, they can only be seen by Q&A moderators. By default, a reply from the moderator will be visible only to the attendee who asked the question (in-private question).

  1. To answer a question directly to the attendee, click reply, type the answer, and then click send.

    Reply to an anonymous question from an attendee

    The answer will be visible only to the attendee.

  2. The question is marked as read and the answer is shown in the moderator overview.

Work a Q&A session with more than one moderator

If more than one moderator is fielding questions, it's important to pay careful to which questions have been read or not read. Questions that are unread can be seen by all moderators, and it's possible two moderators will pick up the same question. If a question has not been manually tagged as read, the question will remain unread until the response is sent (either private reply or broadcast). Therefore, moderators should first mark an item they want to answer as read. They can always put it back in the queue by marking it as unread.

To field questions with multiple moderators

  1. Find a question you want to answer, and click read.

  2. Select either broadcast or reply.

  3. Compose the response, and then send it.

  4. If you decide to not answer a question:

    • Click cancel the broadcast, or click reply again to close the reply message box, depending on type of response they originally selected.

    • Then click mark unread, which puts the question back in the queue.

Use moderator views

There are three moderator views you can use in the Q&A moderator panel.

  • Top    Top broadcasted responses are based on votes by attendees and moderators. Broadcasted responses will have a heart button ( Heart icon ) that can be clicked.

    Moderator views in the Q&A panel

  • All    This view shows all questions and answers, and all announcements.

  • Unread    This view shows only the unread questions.

Designate top questions

To keep attendees from asking the same questions over and over again (and also have less questions for the moderator to screen through), the moderator can broadcast questions to the attendees without answering them. That way, attendees can see the questions that have been asked and can "like" a question by clicking the heart button ( Heart icon ) rather than by asking the question again.

  1. The moderator gauges the audience interest in a question by monitoring the number of likes.

  2. The moderator answers the top questions, or directs the top questions to the presenter.

  3. When the moderator receives an answer from the presenter, the moderator can add the response as a reply to the broadcasted question.

Close the Q&A session

At the end of the broadcast meeting, the moderator can close the Q&A session. It is also possible to temporarily close the Q&A session during the meeting and open it later.

  1. Click close qna.

    Close the Q&A session

  2. The Q&A session is currently closed but can be reopened by clicking open qna.

Export the Q&A data to a report in CSV format

All questions and answers are available for download in a CSV format. The Q&A file can be downloaded from the broadcast portal.

  1. In the Skype Meeting Broadcast portal, under Ended meetings, click on the meeting.

  2. In the reports section, click Download Q&A report.

    Click Open to open the CSV file in Microsoft Excel.
