Windows 10: OneDrive and Windows 10

I'm not sure exactly when this happened, but recently my OneDrive folder disappeared from Users...alpac. See below, where it used to be.





My OneDrive files are intact:





But my system is now behaving oddly. It has happened that I have opened a Word file, done some work on it, saved it--and the file is not changed! The saved version is somewhere else. "OneDrive" and "Documents" seem to have gotten confused, since c:\users\alpac\documents contains my OneDrive folders and files BUT NOT OneDrive itself.


I have a documentation system I use to create web-based documentation, and it uses Microsoft Word files. When I use the application to see the location of my source files, it says can't screen shot that one of the files is: "c:\users\alpac\onedrive\1ms\doc1.docx." However, as you can see from first image above, there is no such folder on my PC.


I don't fully understand what is going on, but this is pretty screwed up. How can I fix?


Thanks for any help you can provide.

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.

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.

[/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
