Windows 10: Disable OneDrive

I thought I had made this clear already:

• I use the same MS account on each W10TP machine, real or virtual
• All W10TP machines are single boot
• The location of OneDrive folder on each machine is exactly the same, on real machines E:\Users\\OneDrive, on virtual machines C:\Users\\OneDrive
• Location of OneDrive folder is irrelevant having nothing to do with this issue
• Sync enabled or disabled is irrelevant having nothing to do with this issue
• Issue can be reproduced for 100% sure in all my installations whatever folder location or sync settings have been used simply by killing the Explorer.exe process and relaunching it which will automatically present the OneDrive first run splash screen

I cannot make this any clearer.

 

Just turn it off.

Go to PC Settings/OneDrive

 

You know I just installed the latest version of Windows 10 (9879) on my laptop, via VMWare Player, and didn't get this issue. It's probably because I'm using the same account on all three of my installs - Win 8 desktop, Win 8 laptop, and Win 10 laptop through VMWare.

@ mousegolf, please read the thread before posting a fix as you'll find your suggestion was tried on page one of this thread... many times. Also here: Disable OneDrive. However, this new release might be different. so...

Thanks.

 

Thanks for your suggestion but redundancy in a forum is inherent. Just like making suggestions to other users who have 20 years experience with online forums. *Wink

 

Ditto as well with forum experience. And while I don't have 20, I am coming up on 15+. And yes, redundancy is abundant *Wink


Peace *Cool

 

Howdy, this maybe old thread but i have a bat file that uninstalls onedrive, a new build update reinstalls it again but 10 seconds later after running bat file its uninstalled again, if wanted let me no i'll pass it on

 

its very spooky when you have too reinstall and everything is still their *Eek
