windows 11/minion/onedrive unable to find addon folder

Nocturne Saint

So I'm using windows 11, and my addon folder is on my onedrive under documents. I tried pointing minion to it, but it refuses to accept the addon folder.
is there any way to fix this? or perhaps a better addon manager than minion?

nvm restarting minion fixed it

OneDrive and ESO do often create problems.
If you use OneDrive you should disable the user documents folder sync.

And no, there is no other addon manager which is officially working.

Check the esoui.com forums of Minion please

Especially the sticky roubleshooting thread

It lists many reasons and how to solve them.
Your's sounds like any Antivirus or windows update blocking access to the Minion install, or user/documents folder of the addons.

You really want to exclude one drive from ESO, it's caused people alot of problems.

At least you should disable the "user documents" backup on OneDrive at the OneDrive settings as this is the problem causing part.
Normal OneDrive should work well so you can still backup all your non windows user related files etc.
