  1. How do I get rid of OneDrive on Windows 11?


    It's not that I don't want OneDrive backup, I DO NOT UNDER ANY CERCUMSTANCES, though, want OneDrive to be my primary place for storing my stuff. AND I want the standard shortcuts of "Desktop," "Documents" etc. to show what I have stored on my own computer and not what Microsoft has hijacked to store in its cloud. Frankly, I am ready to go back to Windows 10 because I HATE the daily struggle with a huge corporation over how I use the products I spent my own money on to purchase.

    :)

  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.

    OneDrive on Windows 11?

    Hello,

    (1) Currently I have Windows 10. I think I can't view all of my pictures because OneDrive is full. These thumbnails/previews of the pictures are black and have a red x next to them. For the past 25-30 years, I used to be able to see all of my pictures on my computer without any problems whatsoever. I think the problem here is OneDrive. If I upgrade to Windows 11, will that get rid of OneDrive?

    (2) If Windows 11 also come with OneDrive, how can I get rid of OneDrive so I can view my pictures?

    I am a senior and not very computer literate. Please help with detailed step-by-step instructions.

    Thank you very much.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    [/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.
