[BUG] OneDrive GUI stuck on Starting, log says to authorize but no auth window popped out #255
Description

The OneDrive GUI stuck on "Starting" status. The indicator was green for a while before going back to red.

Syncing the files using the onedrive CLI client works fine.
Perhaps related to #249

- Click on the "play" button

GUI manages to sync and displays the status of file sync.
