Windows 10: File Explorer *POP UP* asking me to use OneDrive - how to disable?

Hit Win+E to open a File Explorer. The top section of the window was occupied by a message that I should make sure I was backing up my files to OneDrive, which I already use. How can I prevent this from happening?ORHow can I switch to Linux?Ads in my UI are unacceptable. Let's not forget this is a paid product - and I am already using the ancillary paid product that is being advertised. This is pure annoyance for a person using both paid products. Did I mention I paid for both of these products previously?I've already started moving my files to Google Drive because GDrive doesn't charge

:)

 

How can I "unhide" onedrive from file explorer

I understand how frustrating it can be when it pops up every time while you access other applications and games. However, we can quickly check with the task manager and see if you are able to resolve the issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned by Krishna Prasobh V dated

Hope it helps.

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.
