  1. How do I get rid of OneDrive from my Windows 11 pc?


    It's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I download, install, or pretty much do anything on my PC, it defaults to inside the OneDrive folder, and it is getting annoying. For example, my Documents folder is inside the OneDrive folder, and it won't let me change the location to the default. Also when I tried uninstalling OneDrive, the folder still appeared in my file explorer, and it still saved everything to that folder.

    :)

  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.

    Windows 10 Build 9879 released (last update for 2014).

    New features:

    1) a checkbox menu option where you can turn off/on Task View and Search icons in the toolbar (I got rid of them XD)

    2) simplified OneDrive experience

    W10 will now use what MS calls selective sync, where you'll need to specify what's saved to your PC, and what MS keeps in its OneDrive cloud. MS appears to be killing OneDrive app, allowing users access to OneDrive strictly through the File Explorer. (fuck yeah!)

    3) 5 new three-finger gestures to swipe through Windows 10's UI

    • 3 fingers up launches Task View
    • 3 fingers down to Show Desktop
    • 3 fingers flick to left/right to switch to previous app (go back 1)
    • 3 fingers move left/right: Alt-Tab (Task View) pops up, and you can select the app you want (remove fingers to select)
    • 3-finger tap: Search
    4) Snap Assist works across multiple monitors

    5) New IE that utilizes Edge rendering engine, designed for improved compatibility with the various sites on the Web.

    6) MKV container support!!! Users can now play MKV files directly from Windows Media Player, including desktop and modern apps), along with proper thumbnail images and MKV support.

    [/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

    OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

    No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
