Windows 10: OneDrive on two computers.

Hi,

I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer. I assume they use OneDrive is doing it's best, but it's not working for me.

Let me explain ...

I have quite a few icons on my desktop computer that I don't want on my laptop.

If I try and use the icons on the laptop they don't work because they point to locations on the desktop.

If I delete what I consider an unusable icon on the laptop, it is also deleted on the desktop.

Not ideal.

Now for the question: How do I keep these two desktops independent of each other?

Thanks.

:)

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.

Hello Francis,

Doing the steps below to install the latest version of OneDrive may be able to help.

1. Download and install the latest version of OneDrive that's rolling out with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After your computer restarts, select the Start button, search for “OneDrive”, and then select the OneDrive desktop app.
4. When OneDrive Setup starts, enter your personal account, or your work or school account, and then select Sign in.

Ok, success. Had to unlink account and sign in again to change location to my E: drive
