    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.

    OneDrive Red X staying after onedrive has been unlinked to my PC

    Red X on Images Icon Windows 10 (OneDrive)

    Hello,

    I have this problem with OneDrive: My "images" folder has the red X on it but I cannot see any syncronization problem inside the folder (everything is either green or only online).

    I tried disconnecting and reconnecting Onedrive, checking for hidden files but the problem is still there. Ho can I solve this?

    Thanks in advance

    SOLVED:

    Unlink PC in onedrive settings (no data will be lost), wait for it to be definitive, restart PC, connect again (you will have the same problem once you reconnect, but after OneDrive checks all your files, the X disappears (took me 45 minutes to complete
    the automatic review of all the files)

    Many thanks for the replies!
