One drive bully symlinks stuck in pending state on new major OneDrive update. #37

One drive rolled out a major update related to an icon feature and copilot, and then it stopped syncing the symbolink links, instead it was just writing perpetually to the one drive database.

I updated from 1.3 to 1.4, and 1.4 did not detect any of the existing symlinks, I of course set the one drive folder.

I then wiped them manually in explorer, and tried to recreate them inside one drive bully, it told me I need admin permissions, so I relaunched one drive bully with admin permissions, and now it tells me I still need admin permissions when I already gave it admin permissions.

I fixed the admin issue, a app compatibility service in windows was forcing UAC permissions to be disabled for the executable even when I requested, sadly it looks like the symlinks are still broken in one drive though.

It just is writing perpetually to the SyncEngineDatabase, and the only pending files are in the symlinks, so sadly I think its symlink related.

OneDrive build is 24.132.0701.0003 I may abort the pending changes as its already written over 120gigs to my expensive NVME in this perpetual state.

I recreated as junctions manually and just have the app now doing the automated temporary files. junctions seem to work.
