error cmd "cd" not working

I upgraded to the 2017b version and none of my directories are working. Error is saying

    Error using cd
    Cannot CD to
    C:\Users\jhutton\OneDrive\MSU_PhD\Classes\ECE8453-Wavelets\Homeworks\HWK5\Matlab
    (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).

Version a is still working fine. Is this a install or config issue?

Thanks, John

"Name is nonexistent or not a directory" Is matlab mistaken?

Directory is there. In 2017a, this all works fine with the same direction and files. Something is different about 2017b.

I guess, Walter spotted the problem in his answer.

Hi,

I understand that you cannot cd OneDrive folder and I guess you are using Win10 Fall Creators Update.

OneDrive On Demand is a new feature in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, it seems like one of the lower level API does not find the One Drive folders even when they are downloaded. Our developers are actively investigating this issue. The code that seems to have the problem is very low level code on which MATLAB's file-system operations are based. As such our developers are being very careful and scrupulous to not break anything else.

That looks like the problem. I am under onedrive. I suspect it has something to do with the spaces, but not sure.

Funny that 2017a works find while 2017b fails. I'll follow up on the other thread.
