Windows 10: OneDrive and Local Account Windows 10

OneDrive now comes preloaded on a Windows 10.


If I have a Local Account set-up (after switching back from the activation using Microsoft Account) ... and sign in to OneDrive to sync files... Will that turn my Local Account now into a Microsoft account?


I have heard that signing Into the Microsoft Store, for instance , while using a local account, converts your Local Account Into a Microsoft account. That you would need to individually find whatever application you want to install and download it the old fashioned way to avoid a PC hijacking, the way Microsoft store does to the PC.


So, I am wondering what happens when you sign into the OneDrive app directly from the PC. Does it also hijack the PC into a Microsoft account?


Someone had suggested to delete the preloaded OneDrive app and download OneDrive , so that it behaves like it it on Windows 7.

Windows 10 - OneDrive

This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.

Can we have rant-less version, please?

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.
