Windows 10 - OneDrive

[/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.

You need to uninstall it first before installing this version.

Since updating to Windows 10 April Update, OneDrive doesn't work for me, I get the above mentioned error. Also the OneDrive tile from the Start Menu was renamed OneDrive(1), looks as if there must be a OneDrive(2) somewhere...

I noticed that OneDriveSetup.exe from C: Program Files: Microsoft OneDrive has the version 17.3.6943.625., meanwhile the version of OneDrive shown in Control Panel: Programs and Services is 18.065.0329.0002.

Thanks in advance for your help!

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.
