Windows 10: How to only use OneDrive when I want to use OneDrive

OneDrive is trying to take over my computer. Everything seems to be defaulting to saving files there. I DON'T WANT THAT!!! It's extremely aggravating. I want files to go where I want them to go, not where OneDrive thinks they should go. If I want to save something to OneDrive, I will specifically save it to OneDrive, otherwise it should stay ONLY on my computer. I don't want to have to repeatedly tell programs to save to the correct spot. I want NO defaults going to OneDrive, PERIOD, NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. When I install programs, they should default to saving on my computer not OneDrive. Is this possible? Will If have to constantly reset this after Window updates?

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.

[/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.

Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.
