Consequently, if you keep getting errors like these in your Windows System Logs (in the Event Viewer), then here is a possible suggested fix: (to start Windows Task Scheduler, click Start Menu or use shortcut WindowsKey+R and type: taskschd.msc .... then)


"In the Task Scheduler, once you expand Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows, scroll down and click on SkyDrive, you find two scheduled jobs, "Idle Sync Maintenance Task" and "Routine Maintenance Task".  I found that disabling both of these jobs has caused the error message to cease.

I don't think disabling these jobs will be a good solution for everyone, since there may be useful things that these jobs [are supposed to] do, but for me, since I have no interest in SkyDrive, disabling them is fine."
