  3. Auto Save Documents to OneDrive or This PC in Windows 10


    There is one issue with this. After turning this on, the Documents and Picture shortcuts in Code:
    Code:
    This PC/Navigation Pane
    leads to Code:
    Code:
    OneDrive/Documents
    or Code:
    Code:
    OneDrive/Pictures.
    But when you turn this off i.e. when you change it to This PC again. The link doesn't change back to Code:
    Code:
    %Userprofile%/Documents.
    It still points to Code:
    Code:
    OneDrive/Documents
    .
    Plus, turning this off also messed up with auto screenshot save.

    The screenshot above was saved in Code:
    Code:
    %Userprofile%/Pictures
    instead of Code:
    Code:
    OneDrive/Pictures
    . The whole system is messed up completely. @Brink Please give a fix. I have tired registry at Code:
    Code:
    HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/MyComputer
    but modifying it doesn't help.

  4. Auto Save Pictures to OneDrive or This PC in Windows 10

    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.

    Turn On or Off Auto Save Screenshots to OneDrive in Windows 10


    Hello Arthur, and welcome to Ten Forums. Auto Save Pictures to OneDrive or This PC in Windows 10 :)

    Q1) I'm not aware of way to change it to save the screenshot as a .jpg instead of .png. If you like, you could open the .png in Paint (mspaint.exe) then save it as a .jpg. Of course this is not practical if you have too many to do.

    Q2) Win+Prtscn would save to OneDrive instead of This PC if you used the setting in the tutorial below to set your pictures to automatically be saved to OneDrive.

  6. Save images/documents to my computer WITHOUT OneDrive being in the link

    We suggest that you change the Auto Save location to This PC only in OneDrive settings. To do so, follow these steps:



    If the OneDrive available in the taskbar, follow these steps:

    • On the right-hand corner at the bottom part beside time and date, click the up arrow to get the OneDrive icon and then right-click on it and then select
      Settings. Like the image shown below:
    • Go to the Auto Save tab, Change the Documents
      and Pictures location to This PC only and then make sure there no tick for
      Photos and videos and also for Screenshots. Like what’s shown below:
    • Click OK to apply the changes.
    • Go back to step 1, go to the Account tab and click the
      Unlink OneDrive
      .
    • Follow the step 1 once again and select Exit.


    If the OneDrive is no longer available in the taskbar, follow these steps:



    • Click the Start menu and type in OneDrive and then select the first result.
    • Sign in with your Microsoft account associated with your OneDrive and then follow the instructions to complete the login.
    • On the right-hand corner at the bottom part beside time and date, click the up arrow to get the OneDrive icon and then right-click on it and then select
      Settings. Like the image shown below:
    • Go to the Auto Save tab, Change the Documents
      and Pictures location to This PC only and then make sure there no tick for
      Photos and videos and also for Screenshots. Like what’s shown below:
    • Click OK to apply the changes.
    • Go back to step 1, go to the Account tab and click the
      Unlink OneDrive
      .
