Windows 10: Files, App Can't stay on desktop even though uninstalled OneDrive & Disconnect it from PC

Everything worked fine until I made the CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP.


When I turned the computer on, I could use LOCAL administrator account to sign in to the desktop. However, all the apps and programs i installed before are not shown on the desktop. For some reason, after the change ownership, the computer restored itself to the manufacture default mode like of. The programs are still under Programs. All the files I created are hidden under OneDrive folder. But I don't understand I uninstalled and disconnected OneDrive long ago when I got this computer, so I already made everything LOCAL. I did a lot of work to create sharing files, for this computer could never share files in the network. I finally was glad that 2 of my computers could communicate, yet I was told to make Chane of Ownership in order to clear out messes.


Even though now OneDrive was uninstalled, as well as it being disconnected from the Settings at the lower right hand corner. Every file or folder I create is stored under TEMP. Why TEMP? I thought once the OneDrive is gone, then my desktop becomes local.


Guess what! Every time I restart the computer, nothing stays. Everything I put on the desktop is gone and gone once turn the computer off or restart.


PLEASE HELP! I would like to have my LOCAL DESKTOP BACK< PLEASE!!



thank you thank you

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.

2. Under Apps & features, find and select Microsoft OneDrive, and then select Uninstall.
   

As OneDrive is built in to some versions of Windows and can't be uninstalled. As a workaround, you can hide it. Reference “Turn off or uninstall OneDrive” for detail steps:
