Why are some applications not running properly on KIC computers?

Applications may not function properly because personal file storage has been moved to OneDrive.
For example, if a project in Visual Studio may build successfully when stored on local storage but fail when stored on OneDrive. In such cases, right-click the project folder, select “Always keep on this device” from the context menu, and then try building the project again.
This setting may also improve the performance of other applications that are sensitive to file access timing.
