Windows 10: How do I enable OneDrive in GPO?

Hello.


One Drive is installed on all of our computers, but we need to have each user go to the Task manager and 'Enable' it to get it to auto launch for them. Is there a way to set GPO to enable it so that new users do not have to do this manual step?


Thanks.

Thank you for getting back to me but I have seen that suggestion which will not work for me. That steps suggested to do it manually which I'm trying to pin it to the start layout tile using .xml file via GPO. Below is the path where the OneDrive shortcut

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.

 

Enabling Bitlocker with GPO


Once the GPO for BitLocker's settings have been configured and assigned do I still need to manually enable Bitlocker on the specific device or should the GPO kick off the process automatically?
