Windows 10: Onedrive and backup images

Realizing I could do a daily file backup which I don't do at this time, I have on 2 separate occasions needed to use a system image to get my computer using windows 10 Pro 1909 version up and running again. Using reset keeps my files but causes me to lose apps installed and some settings. When the image is finished Onedrive picks up from the time the image was created therefore I have some office files that I use a lot get synced backward in time and I must manually rebuild them. Is there any setting to get Onedrive to restore the file by the latest available date. In other words, get it to sync using the most recent file not necessarily the image Onedrive files. I also lose files made after the image is made. I am currently using and syncing Onedrive on 3 PCs. If this setting is not available, I guess the best choice is to Reset and save the files and reinstall all the apps, Uugg.

[HELP]Image recovery issues

Guys i am trying to fix my cousins Asus Eee netbook. It has a backup image file that is partitioned on the hard drive but when I go to use it the app will run through a few steps and stop. It is running Vista . Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

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.

 

W10 Mobile Lumia 830 Backup Not Being Saved to OneDrive

Thanks Chari San,

I understand I can not see what is contained in the backup stored on OneDrive, but I should see them listed. In my case there is not one being stored at all even though the phone reports it has backed up. See screenshots from OneDrive from my phone logged
into the same account the phone is and the backup settings page above. Without the backup on OneDrive my restored phone will lose at least call history, start screen setup and installed app list from what I have found.

Step #2 is not displayed on the new phone. (How can it restore a backup that is not on OneDrive at all). It skips over that step and I get a default install on the new phone without my call history, start page or app history. I'm not sure what else I
might be missing but for sure at least those 3 items do not come across.

How do I resolve this issue? Suggestions?
