    OneDrive


    I originally set up my laptop under a personal account and after that had to add a school account as well. The personal OneDrive will not allow me to sign in, I've changed passwords etc. The school account seems to be signing in automatically.

    Is there a way to re-set or remove my personal account without losing anything?

    I am also having a problem changing my internet home page seems I'm locked into Bing and I do not want that search engine or do I want it to show up every time I open the internet.

    Honestly, I don't want Microsoft to control everything, I'd like to control my laptop myself.


    Thank you

    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.

    OneDrive folder icon changed to plain

    Hi,

    Thank you for replying.

    I understand your concern and suggest you to Unlink OneDrive and run OneDrive setup
    again and check. Here is the steps:


    • Right-click the white OneDrive cloud icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

      OneDrive ce960e20-2ea4-4298-8ec8-8399b1b20e20.png

      (You might need to click the Show hidden icons arrow next to the notification area to see the
      OneDrive icon.)

    • Click Settings, and then click Unlink.

    • Follow the steps in the Welcome to OneDrive wizard to set up OneDrive.
    Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.
