  1. How do i undo OneDrives changes to my computer!?


    All I wanted was to be able to access my desktop's files from the OneDrive app on my phone but when I checked OneDrive on my phone, none of my desktop files were there. Then I figured i just needed to backup everything but apparently in the process it also took everything from my laptops files which was a bunch of unnecessary junk onto my desktop. Fooling around in OneDrive's settings it now appears that all my files have been taken off my computer and moved into OneDrive instead. This has ruined nearly all my applications and games and when i try to move things back there's lots of file that

  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.

    Window Update Undoing changes made to your computer issue

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, pleas reply with the details requested below:



    • Do you receive any error message after Windows update?
    • May I know after which update do you see this message?
    • When you say, “this message appear about half and hour" does the computer boot to the desktop?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    If the computer doesn’t boot to the Desktop, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions provided by DaveM121 replied on April 7, 2019 in the thread

    'Undoing changes made to your computer' in Windows 10
    .



    If you are able to boot the computer to the Desktop, I would suggest you to run the

    Windows Update Troubleshooter
    and see if that helps.



    If the issue persists, I would suggest you to reset Windows Update components. Kindly refer the article by Sumit on

    How to:Reset Windows update components in Windows
    .



    You may also want to refer the steps mentioned in the article
    Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10
    .



    Note: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost. Also, the last step in the article
    talks about Clean installation, please do not perform a clean installation of Windows.




    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you.



    Regards,
