    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.

    OneDrive CPU usage is killing my Surface Pro 4...!

    Thank you for your response. If OneDrive is crashing whenever you start a session, we suggest you clear the cache in the Microsoft Uploader. Simply follow the steps provided below.

    • On the Start screen, search for Upload Center.
    • Click the Office Upload Center icon.
    • Click Setttings.
    • Click Delete cached files.
    • Click Ok.

    In regards to the limitations of OneDrive. You get 5 GB of storage when you sign up for OneDrive, but you can always buy more or sign up for Office 365 to get more storage. Read on this

    link     to learn more about storage plans and billing.

    Should you need further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

    Regards.
