Windows 10: How do I keep everything on my PC after disabling Onedrive Back up?

I'm trying to stop the back up onto Onedrive cause it's becoming more of a pain. When I choose to download a program and Installs onto the PC it always backs up the data to the onedrive and the PC which makes the program and PC crash. I've tried to use the "Keep it Local" setting but it does not work cause when my PC gets unplugged from the Ethernet cable for maintenance or just stopping the back up to the drive it gets rid of everything and makes my PC just a pile of Windows Dookie.

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.

 

Disable OneDrive

Thanks for your suggestion but redundancy in a forum is inherent. Just like making suggestions to other users who have 20 years experience with online forums. *Wink

 

Disable OneDrive


I thought I had made this clear already:

• I use the same MS account on each W10TP machine, real or virtual
• All W10TP machines are single boot
• The location of OneDrive folder on each machine is exactly the same, on real machines E:\Users\\OneDrive, on virtual machines C:\Users\\OneDrive
• Location of OneDrive folder is irrelevant having nothing to do with this issue
• Sync enabled or disabled is irrelevant having nothing to do with this issue
• Issue can be reproduced for 100% sure in all my installations whatever folder location or sync settings have been used simply by killing the Explorer.exe process and relaunching it which will automatically present the OneDrive first run splash screen

I cannot make this any clearer.
