    OneDrive Memories - How did Microsoft get them?


    I understand that by default Windows 10 stores certain sections of a user profile on OneDrive.But my question is HOW did it get my PRIVATE Pictures from several years ago long before I ever even saw Windows 10?I was still using Windows 7 up until about 2 months ago. So again I ask, HOW did they get it, and WHO gave them the right to invade my privacy in doing so? I know it wasn't Internet Explorer because I never use it. I always use firefox.

    :)

    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.

    [/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.
