Windows 10: How do I re-enable OneDrive in Win 10?

Hi all

I deactivated OneDrive when I installed Win 10 last year as I was paying for Dropbox Pro and didn't need OneDrive duplicating cloud services. I've now cancelled my Dropbox sub as I have a year free of OneDrive, but I can't work out how to re-enable OneDrive in Windows. I have googled it but I can't find anything that actually works.

I'm reluctant to have to do a full OS reinstall unless absolutely neccessary....!

Thanks

:)

 

How do I re-enable fast user switching in Windows 10 Home?

OK - it took me a little while to get around to it, but I ran a full reinstall of windows 10 - I chose the "keep my files and applications" option. Now that the reinstall is done, I'm finding that I still cannot use fast user switching. So I'm still
stuck.

 

How do I re-enable fast user switching in Windows 10 Home?

I installed Windows 10 Home (upgraded from Windows 8.1) a few months ago. When I first installed, I could click the start menu, then click on the account picture at the top, and it would give me the option to log into a different account on the PC without
signing out the one I am currently in. I think that's called fast user switching.

Recently, and for some unknown reason, that option just stopped showing up. When I click on the account picture, I still get the option to lock, sign out, or change account settings when I click on it - but no option to sign into one of the other accounts
on the pc directly from there.

I've read several tutorials that suggested I just needed to either:

a) Disable the "Hide entry points for fast user switching" setting in group policy, or...

b) Restart the fast user switching service in services

I'm using Home, so, of course, I don't have GPEdit.msc, but I found a place that let me download it. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a setting for "Hide entry points for fast user switching" under the Logon folder. It's just not there.

And, when I go into services, I don't find any service relating to fast user switching at all. Can someone tell me what caused this to spontaneously disappear, and how to get it back?

 

If OneDrive setup does not open when selected from Start menu, download the installer from here: Download Microsoft OneDrive

You will be told that if you have Windows 10 the app is already installed. Don't care about that, just click Download:




Run the installer:




Setup OneDrive:



That's it.
