Windows 10: OneDrive (probably) screwed up my computer

So, i haven't used my HP laptop in, maybe, 2 or 3 days. It wouldn't access the internet, and i wasn't interested in using it anyways, so i thought, hey, big deal. Fast forward to today, and i log into my laptop to see an error saying that, apparently, it had some problems logging in. Behind this error, i had noticed that my desktop had reverted to a few days after i BOUGHT the thing. After logging out, the problems had not been resolved. Restarting also did nothing. Upon further inspection, everything that was stored locally was completely removed. What wasn't removed, was everything in the OneDrive folder. I must mention that OneDrive was also offline at this time. Logging into it with my various accounts did nothing.


This incident, combined with the fact that OneDrive had been pestering me about being full, and i have reason (very little reason, mind you, but reason nonetheless) to believe that OneDrive interfered with the operation of my computer in the name of it's cloud-saving objective.


If not to recover my Frozen Synapse 2 wallpaper, i would at least like assistance in knowing the source and cause of this problem.

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.

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.
