Windows 10: After the latest update for windows 10 home, Onedrive moved all my files from my pc to...

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]After installing January 26, 2021-KB4598301 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10, version 1909, and Windows Server, version 1909, I was greeted with the screen you usually only get when setting up windows Setup onedrive, add phone number, office products, which I found strange. So I went through, told onedrive to only save to my pc, as I had to pick an option, and skipped the other stuff.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]I then found that onedrive had moved all my documents, pictures, and desktop files to my personal onedrive, and left behind these "Where are my files?" links, which led to their location on onedrive.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]I think I've restored everything to normal, except for a "USER's Notepad.url" that keeps remaking itself if I delete it from onedrive.[/COLOR]



[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]How can I completely prevent Onedrive from doing something as bad as this in future?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]And does anyone know what could have caused this to happen?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]It seems to disregard me telling it not to backup, a lot, but actually moving my files off my pc is completely unacceptable. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]This is a not even month old laptop. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]This is all in the file explorer part of Onedrive, not the app.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=rgba103, 103, 103, 1]Thank you[/COLOR]

Windows 10 - OneDrive

This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.

 

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.
