Default location to save documenets

Hi Frank,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues with Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

The issue could occur if the default location is saved as OneDrive and we need to change it to local drive in default storage location.



I suggest you to refer to the below steps and check if it helps.

1. Click on Start Menu and then click on Settings.

2. Click on Systems.

3. Then click on Storage.

4. Under Save Locations, change the location as This PC
under New Documents will save to option.



Let us know if you need any further assistance on Windows related issues and we will be glad to help.

 

default location to save files is in a hidden folder

You could try setting the default save location to this PC and then when you initially save a file to a location on the PC, Office should then default to that location:

• Open MS Word
• Click on the File menu item
• Click on Options
• Dialog box “Word Options” opens. Click on Save settings located on the left menu
• On the right-hand side you will see a checkbox labeled “Save to computer by default”, check it and then click OK.
