    One Drive App Settings isn't allowing me to opt out of some folders. How can I only choose...


    Hello, I am new using the One Drive App. The folders I've chosen to store on One Drive are photos Pictures only. On the settings I accessed from the Accounts/Windows Backup/One Drive Folder Syncing, I have removed the check mark from two folders titled Desktop and Documents. I have zero to save from either of them. Only pictures. Here's the problem:When I remove the checks from saving folders from Desktop and from Documents, it doesn't save my preference but gives me a message verifying if I really want to stop saving these files to One Drive with the caveat that I will not have it on other

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    How to remove drive from list of allowed apps in "controlled folder access"

    I recently enabled controlled folder access in the Windows Security app. I was running an executable from a USB (assigned drive letter 'I:') that required access to one of my protected folders, so I allowed it via

    Windows Security>Virus & threat protection>Manage ransomware protection>Allow an app through controlled folder access>Add an allowed app

    After removing the USB drive the program I allowed is no longer in the list of allowed apps under "allow an app through controlled folder access". However, now "Drive (IOne Drive App Settings isn't allowing me to opt out of some folders. How can I only choose... :)" is listed as an allowed app.

    It appears that I cannot remove the drive from the list of allowed apps. How can I remove it?

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    Managed to solve it... here´s how I did it just in case anyone else has the same problem...

    ->Settings

    ->Printers & scanners

    ->Add a printer or scanner

    ->The printer that I want isn´t listed

    ->Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings

    ->Use an existing port: USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)

    ->Choose printer

    ->Use the driver that is currently installed

    ->Type printer name

    And done... =P
