Windows 10: 2 personal PCs, activating OneDrive sync with update May 15, 2024 synced both PCs,...

Here is my very long original title before I saw there was a character limit:I have 2 home PCs, accidentally activated OneDrive Sync with newest Windows 10 update May 15th, 2024, and it synced the Desktop, Documents, and Pictures Folder from BOTH computers to folders in my OneDrive. Now when I click on a folder from Quick access all my pinned Quick Access are were? local folders, instead of showing my usual local files, it only shows a single shortcut to OneDrive. How do I reverse this?I've looked at all the similar questions so far, and none of them have asked or answered my use case.I

Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

I think I have to take the following steps:

• Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
• Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
• Startup PC
• Reinstall display driver
• Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
• Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
• Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
• Calibrate my 1440p monitor

Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

Is there anything else I should do/know?

 

OneDrive specific syncing issues with 2 PC's

Hello,

How to you segregate syncing? I have one MS account, but own two computers. I use them for very different tasks. I want to sync both to one drive for backup purposes only but don't want files from PC "A" to be shown or put on PC "B" or vice versa. One PC is Windows 10 PRO the other is a new Windows 11 PRO. I only store files on the desktop in case this matters.

PC "A" is used for CAD and has 15-20GB of data on the desktop in multiple folders. PC "B" is new and will be used for video editing. When I set up PC "B" (new Windows 11PRO) I set it up to my MS account. As soon as I was on the desktop all the files from PC "A" started to appear on the new desktop.

Deleting these files from PC "B" deleted ALL the same files from PC "A". I had to

• Backup all the files from PC "A"
  
• Paused syncing on PC "A" for 24 hours and restored all the folders and files one by one to the desktop.
  
• Delete all the files from PC "B"
  
• Disabling OneDrive on PC "B"
  

I hope that when the 24-hour pause is done, OneDrive will again sync PC "A" files like normal. I am afraid to turn on or use OneDrive on PC "B" because I have no confidence that the same thing won't happen again.



I want to use OneDrive on both PC's but need the files to be specific to what PC they belong on. If this possible?

 

OneDrive / Sharepoint syncing everything on pc

After years on trouble-free usage, I have recently had huge problems with OneDrive. It appeared to be solved by the last forum answer but a new problem has emerged. This morning I noticed tiny green checkmarks on EVERY file and folder on my pc! This includes my personal photos and files from other aspects of my life that have nothing to do with my work's shared OneDrive. Now when I go to OneDrive online (from the cloud icon in the notification area), I can see Desktop, Documents, Pictures with the tiny blue rays indicating recent uploads, at the top of genuine work folders. They are not empty but include my personal files. Thankfully they are listed as 'Private' but I'm still uneasy about them being on the shared work site. How to I stop OneDrive syncing everything on my pc? Thank you for your advice.
