I dunno? It sounds very plausible, exactly the kind of thing that Windows would do. I posted about it to Metafilter some time back and no one there seemed to think it couldn't happen.
It sounds like user error to me. There is like 2 settings on onedrive and they couldnt even be bothered to configure it yet hes going through all this complicated troubleshooting.
If you can't log into Windows you can't change its OneDrive settings! What's more, the user had no idea what was causing the problem, be it OneDrive or something else, until he did that troubleshooting! And, just setting up a new phone shouldn't make your computer unbootable for any reason! Geez, way to victim-blame there.
He wasnt able to log in because he broke something on the back end not because of onedrive.
