    How to find infected file in OneDrive


    OneDrive is constantly syncing an infected file, and Windows Defender is blocking then removing it, but the UI is bloody horrible, and you can't tell which file it is that's being blocked, you just get a long randomised stringname. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
