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.

 

Modern apps not connecting to internet, desktop apps work fine.


Is your DNS client service running on your system .

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

• Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
• In the list of services, click DNS Client.
• Make sure that the Status column displays Started and that the Startup Type column displays Automatic.
• If the service is not set to Started or if the startup type for the DNS Client service is not set to Automatic, follow these steps:
  • Right-click DNS Client, and then click Properties.
  • In the DNS Client Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then click Automatic in the Startup type list.
  • Click Start, click Apply, and then click OK.

 

OneDrive does not start automatically and when I check the Startup App setting I find that OneDrive is switched back to off

I turn OneDrive "on" in Windows Startup App but the next time when I turn the laptop on, OneDrive does not start automatically and when I check the Startup App setting I find that OneDrive is switched back to off . Any idea why this might be? I'm using Avast free anti-virus.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions as to why Windows Startup App setting doesn't 'remember' my preference for OneDrive to start up on Windows Start Up.


I have seen on another thread Paulo's suggestion as below:-

There could be a policy preventing the program to start automatically. You should check the Registry



1. Press (Windows key) + R to open the Run box.

2. Type regedit and click OK.

3. Navigate to this path



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive



Make sure DisableFileSyncNGSC is set to "0". (No need to create the key if it doesn't exist)

I have checked this path but it does not exist so no changes.

If relevant, I have noted "DisableOneDriveFileSync" as below. Any thoughts to help me please?
