Windows 10: OneDrive and Screenshots

I currently have a computer running windows 10, that was set up with One Drive. However, this morning when I tried to load OneDrive, it gave me a message saying "Sorry, there was a problem displaying this folder" I've tried reloading it, but it won't let me load or access. This isn'ta big deal, since I have copies of pretty much everything important in my SSD, but it would be nice to access. Also, in the file menu, the section for OneDrive is gone, even though I haven't actually delete anything. Also, ever since this has happened, it seems that the computer won't take screenshots, even though it used to just by pressing the "PrtSc" button before the issue, which is an inconvenience. I really need help with this as I need One Drive to actually open up so I can acess my files.

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.

 

Lock vs Login screen screenshot


Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!
