    i have a whole file with more 15 documents with green check marks and it does not open....


    I have a file with more than 15 word documents with checkmarks in green inside circles and I cant open them or work with them. I am not sure when something like this is retaining me from working, every day there is something I have to fix with word or with Publisher last week. What is happening? I had been all my life with word.

    Darned green check marks adjacent to new saved documents

    I've been reading the issues related to those green check marks in front of saved documents but solutions suggested are not working for me, and now I can't print a financial document - just view - and there is no issue with my printer connectivity because
    I can print a test page via Windows and it prints fine. I could care less about the "cloud" for saving documents - I want to save documents ONLY to my PC which I back up manually.

    How do I stop getting documents sent to the crazy "cloud" and just to my personal files on my PC ? Microsoft shouldn't be taking control of where I keep my files. I tried right clicking on the document to try to save it to my recent files list and I don't
    get that option on the list provided. Can't get rid of the green arrows and can't print important documents.

    How do I fix this ???????

    Documents and pictures... green check mark?

    Thank you for the helpful reply, but when I opened up "This PC" my documents and pictures under "This PC" are the ones with green check marks not my original files and folders that I am looking for :/ I was hoping I could change this to make the "Documents"
    and "Pictures" under "This PC" my originals.. not one drive documents and pictures

    The only place I can find my original documents and pictures is under "Libraries" which is hard to get to because it doesn't even show up on the list under quick access nor this PC.

    Also, when I go to properties in the documents and pictures folders there is no "location" tab to change the file path available... So I am not sure how to get my originals back to "This PC"

    Documents and pictures... green check mark?

    So I recently got a new computer with windows 10, and I am still getting used to it.

    I was looking for my documents and pictures folders...

    But when I hit the dropdown for "This PC" I see a "Documents" and "Pictures" but they have green check marks next to them (I think they have something to do with the cloud?) What are these?

    Apparently my real documents and pictures folders are under the "Libraries" dropdown... Because the green check mark documents and pictures are empty.

    Is there any way to connect these two? I don't really understand this
