About this tag
The onedrive pst tag covers discussions about issues where Outlook PST files stored in OneDrive or other cloud-synced folders cause application crashes, hangs, or unresponsiveness, particularly after Windows 11 cumulative updates like KB5074109. Topics include the January 2026 Patch Tuesday regression that affected classic Outlook (Win32) with POP/PST workflows, leading to freezes, lingering processes, and lost Sent Items.

These threads are relevant for IT professionals and users managing Outlook profiles with PST files in cloud storage, especially on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2.
