    Further issues with syncing and can't unsync Desktop. etc


    Recently learned how some images couldn't display thumbnail despite me tweaking with thumbnail setting due to them being connected to onedrive so tried to remove it all together. However due to what I suspect to be the amount of documents I had the program began having issues since I passed the 5 gb limit. Restarted my pc to see if things would work out but now just syncing indefinitely, however what I did do before that was remove back up for all three folders Image 2 and then trying to change their properties to original state so they would be on my pc rather than through onedrive but woul

    Unsyncing desktop shortcuts

    Syncing the desktops for me is done in OneDrive and is a OneDrive setting. Go to
    OneDrive Settings -> AutoSave and you will see where you can unsync your desktop. Set
    Desktop to This PC Only so that it doesn't sync to OneDrive.

    Not a chance. OneDrive is for Onedrive. Has nothing to do with user setting sync.

    Sync problems - how to unsync

    We have two desktops which were bought on the same day and registered on the same day, etc. Since then there is no way to "unsync" them. For example, when my husband deletes any app, link or file from his desktop, then mine is deleted too. And any app,
    link or file I add to my computer shows up on his, and vice versa. We have tried unsyncing via moving the sync botton to off, but nothing changes. Any help out there?
