Windows 10: Onedrive - Manually Loading always opens File Explorer

G'day all When Onedrives loads at Startup it does so in the background. But when I load it up manually (ie: From the Start menu) everytime it will open File Explorer to see the Onedrive contents. Is there a way (even if done via batch file!) to prevent the File Explorer window appearing when loading Onedrive manually from the Start Menu? I have tried the below command to see if it would at least minimize the File Explorer window, but to no avail! start /min C:"Program Files""Microsoft OneDrive"\OneDrive.exe Hope that makes sense! Cheers WINDOWS 10 ver: 21H1 Build: 19043.1110
