    Did microsoft ditch onedrive overlays entirely?


    I'm doing that awesome overlay shuffle we all do in the ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers registry key due to the 15 item limit.

    Microsoft has been exceptionally slow at opening these up, but it appears theyve made concessions where they could.

    Best i can tell onedrive now uses the Status column entirely yes? AKA theres absolutely 0 reason to keep the overlay subkeys for onedrive under the aforementioned registry key?

    Just want to double check before i say arrivederci to them for good.

    :)

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?
