    How to avoid unwanted downloading of files with OneDrive for Windows?


    In my Windows 10 laptop, when download a video file by clicking on Always Keep on This Device and then open that video file, a few moments later a little window pops up saying "Automatic File Downloads / Photos is downloading from OneDrive / Learn more in Settings > Automatic File Downloads / Downloading 6 files." Below that is a button to "Cancel download". If I click on Cancel Download, the following warning appears: "Canceling downloads could cause Photos to close / To prevent future downloads, select Block app. To unblock, go to Settings > Automatic file downloads." I have tried

    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.

    This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



    Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
