Windows 10: OneDrive usage aspects.

Hello, dear colleagues. I have a questions about safe usage of OneDrive as cloud storage for my data:1 are there any ways to set a password on this storage to protect my data from undesired access?2 in case I will buy additional paid storage space over 5 Gb free space, and I will overdue the payment for usage of such additional space – what will happen to my data: a will they be deleted immediately after I will overdue the payment or b they will be just “frozen” for my access temporarily until I will make this payment or c maybe some another option for this case?Thank you in

:)

 

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.

 

High CPU usage when running OneDrive

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand your concern as you are facing high CPU usage due to OneDrive app on the PC. Let us
know the Windows version and Build installed. (Type
winver in Windows search/Run command)

Normally, OneDrive will not take so much CPU usage during file sync. In this situation we will check the CPU usage after disabling the telemetry on the PC.

Steps to disable telemetry.

1. Press Windows + R to open run command and type
   regedit, then click Ok.
   
2. Navigate to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
   
3. Create a new DWORD value and name it
   AllowTelemetry. Set its value to 0.
   
4. Click on Windows search and type
   File Explorer.
   
5. Right-click File Explorer and select
   Manage to go to Computer Management
   
6. On the Computer Management window, go to Services and
   Applications>Services
   
7. Look for the following two services. Double click a service and from the ‘Startup type’ dropdown, select the ‘Disabled’ option.
   
   • Connected User Experiences and Telemetry
     
   • dmwappushsvc
     
8. Restart the PC and check.
   

Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Follow the steps to take backup of
registry.
