Issue: Uploading Files to OneDrive Personal Fails When Filename Starts with "Windows"

Hi everyone,

We've encountered a strange issue with our backup tool that affects random users. Files with names starting with "Windows" (e.g., Windows.gif) fail to upload to OneDrive Personal accounts, regardless of whether we're using:

• Simple Item Upload (PUT request)
• Resumable Item Upload (POST to create an upload session)

Both methods return a 404 Not Found error.

Details:

• Simple Upload Fails after the PUT completes.
• Resumable Upload Fails during the session creation call.
• No issues with filenames not starting with "Windows."
• A similar unresolved issue was reported here.

Sample Request & Response:

Simple Upload:

bash

PUT /v1.0/drive/items/{item-id}:/Windows.gif:/content

Authorization: Bearer [token]

Host: api.onedrive.com

Response:

json

{

  "error": {

    "code": "itemNotFound",

    "message": "Item does not exist"

  }

}

Resumable Upload:

bash

POST /v1.0/drive/items/{item-id}:/Windows.gif:/upload.createSession

Authorization: Bearer [token]

Content-Type: application/json

Response:

json

{

  "error": {

    "code": "itemNotFound",

    "message": "Item does not exist"

  }

}

Key Observations:

• Random Accounts Affected: Issue occurs inconsistently across different OneDrive Personal accounts.
• No Request ID: Failed responses lack request IDs, making tracing difficult.
• Inconsistent Reproduction: I can't reproduce it on my account, but my colleague can.

Questions:

1. Has anyone encountered this before?
2. Could this be related to reserved keywords or API filtering rules?
3. Any advice on debugging this further, given the lack of request IDs?
