Windows 10: How do I get rid of the false "not backed up" message in file explorer?

Ever since the last update, I get this obnoxious yellow box claiming my files are "not backed up." False. I back them up to Google drive manually, thank you. I don't want to sign in to OneDrive. Ever.I don't want this message, as it is incorrect, and ugly. How do I get rid of it?I would attach a screen shot, it has failed to upload. I tried several times.

File explorer

Hi Mick,

I am sorry to know that the File Explorer is not working on the Taskbar.

I suggest you to right-click on it to unpin it from the task bar.

Then search for File Explorer in Search. Then right-click on it to Pin it to Taskbar.

If the issue persists, try the steps below.

• 
  Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following 4 commands at the Command prompt:
  

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

• 
  Close the CMD window.
  
• 
  Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.
  

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
