This error generally arises due to corrupted machine files or conflict of the Files On-Demand feature in OneDrive. The good thing is that this issue can easily be resolved by following basic troubleshooting steps in this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/\">Outbyte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Error_0x8007016A\"><\/span>What is Error 0x8007016A?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This error occurs most with OneDrive, especially in the case of files marked to sync with the cloud but not fully downloaded to the local machine. Sometimes this might be an aftermath of Windows Updates that have affected the functionality of OneDrive and caused problems either in accessing or syncing files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other possible culprits behind the problem are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>A Bad Windows 10 Update Has Been Installed<\/em>: Some users reported that a recent Windows update may have caused the error by breaking OneDrive&#8217;s auto-sync functionality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>OneDrive\u2019s File On-Demand Feature Is Enabled<\/em>: The issue can occur when OneDrive&#8217;s File On-Demand feature is enabled. Disabling it has helped many users fix the problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>OneDrive Syncing Is Disabled<\/em>: Third-party applications can disable OneDrive Sync to save power. Sometimes, all it takes is turning it back on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Corrupted Files Exist on OneDrive<\/em>: Corrupt files within OneDrive may also trigger the error. Cleaning up or removing those files can fix it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Current Power Plan Is Keeping the Sync Feature from Working<\/em>: If the Power Saver mode is enabled, it could stop OneDrive syncing. Switching to Balanced or High Performance power plans can restore functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/OneDrive-File-On-Demand-Feature.webp\" alt=\"0x8007016a\" class=\"wp-image-9179\" style=\"width:348px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/OneDrive-File-On-Demand-Feature.webp 421w, https:\/\/outbyte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/OneDrive-File-On-Demand-Feature-241x300.webp 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Fix_Error_code_0x8007016A\"><\/span>How to Fix Error code 0x8007016A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have rounded up some few possible fixes to the error 0x8007016A on Windows 10 below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_1_Restart_Your_Computer\"><\/span>Fix 1: Restart Your Computer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try restarting your computer before indulging into the more complex methods.

Also, run periodic scans using some effective antivirus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By frequent backups of data, usage of SFC and DISM tools, safe computing, you can avoid corruption-related error messages to a fair degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_13_Contact_a_Professional_Windows_10_Technician\"><\/span>Fix 13: Contact a Professional Windows 10 Technician<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, if none of those fixes above worked, it is about time that you seek professional help from Windows 10 experts.
