    How do I choose what I want to back up on OneDrive?


    I only want to backup my accounting system on OneDrive, not all my other files. How do I designate what I want on OneDrive and what I don't want on OneDrive. I'm using Windows 10.

    :)

  2. 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.

    Help choosing a new case

    Don't really know how to help you. You are being vague. Here is what I would do. Choosing a case is aesthetics first. Shop NewEgg and list the cases you like and list them. Members will suggest the best choice from your selections.

    How do I stop solications to setup OneDrive?

    Hi,

    We apologize for the delay response and thank you for the additional details.

    Upon analyzing this matter, it seems that
    OneDrive is having issues in syncing your
    Microsoft Account that causes the issue to occur. We suggest you to try these following methods and check if there's any changes:

    Method 1: add/remove your account in OneDrive.

    To do unlink your account, follow these steps:


    • Right-click on the
      cloud icon
      on the lower right of your screen.

    • Choose
      Settings.

    • On the
      Account tab, click on
      Unlink this PC.

    • Choose
      Unlink Account.

    To add your account, just run OneDrive again the enter your credentials.

    Method 2: reset OneDrive.

    To reset OneDrive, follow these steps:


    • Press
      Windows key + R.

    • Type
      %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset

    • Click
      OK.

    • Make sure that the
      cloud iconor the
      OneDrive icon
      on the bottom right
      disappears.

    • If the icon doesn't
      re-appear after a few minutes, press
      Windows key + R
      and type
      %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
