Windows 10: Issues with one-drive/pc

I don't use one drive and have it turned off.


I have just scanned a document for work on my pc and it is showing in my pc folder. However I cannot open it as it comes up with an error message suggesting that it is in one drive and to check I have inserted the name correctly.


This is a new issue since a recent Microsoft update as I have previously scanned items and opened them on my pc with no issues. But I now find that not only can I not open the current document I also cannot open documents that I have scanned in the past.


Even when I save a document in word and I click on the save on this pc link, when the save box appears I have to check the title bar as most of the time it comes up as saving to one drive.


I find one-drive totally infuriating I don't want to use it at all and I don't know how to stop my scans automatically going to one-drive I don't even get an option with scans on where I want to save and access the document.


How can I open my documents in my computer when they have automatically scanned to one-drive?

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?

Optical Drive Issue

Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:




I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
