- Nothing syncs

- Initially, a bunch of files were stuck in 'downloading' even though their status was 'completed'. I manually deleted those files and they went away but still nothing would sync. 

- Skydrive Sync process Host keeps crashing every time I toggle offline files to on, this is only visible in desktop not in metro.

I've tried

- Moving Skydrive folder to somewhere else and back again

- Turning skydrive off in Group Policy and on again

- Running self help troubleshooter (it fails to restart service)

- Deleting everything in skydrive folder on the PC in conjunction to disabling/reenabling in group policy (i.e. clean slate)

- Everything in the stupid FAQ

Please do not send me a precanned response with the standard level 1 stuff (restart try system restore etc.) I have tried everything short of a full format, which I can't do, as the surface pro 2 restore image is apparently broken (http://www.examiner.com/article/surface-pro-2-reset-bug-plagues-end-users-no-blessed-fix-from-microsoft-yet).
