Windows 10: OneDrive setting to save screenshot is not working properly

I had a problem because my files, recently, does not sync automatically in OneDrive. Because, i had other problems, too, i formatted my PC and re-installed everything from scratch. But this problem with autosave and sync files keeps on.


I have found out that mo matter how many times, i check the box at OneDrive icon/ more/settings/Backup/Automatically save screenshots i capture, to OneDrive icon at taskbar, this options dis-selects by itself. I can not figure out what causes this. I suspect that this has to do with a service that changes or makes my PC accept this command after many times i set this option and, then after restarting PC it unchecks it.

Could someone figure out why this occurs and whether it can be fixed? How else could i activate autosave once and for all?

Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive


Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings

I am trying to save my files to OneDrive as a default. It has always worked as my default. For some reason, the default save location is now Recent. Something caused it to change. All default locations settings in Word Options, my computer and OneDrive settings are set to save to OneDrive. It appears my computer does not recognize these default settings.

Do you have any suggestions how I can have my default locations for files change back to OneDrive?

I use Windows 10. My computer is Dell XPS 8910.

See Screenshots. Screenshot with Recent highlighted shows my current default location as Recent. OneDrive should be highlighted.

Also, I reinstalled Microsoft Office.
