Windows 10: Prevent OneDrive From Trying To Connect

*Note OneDrive forum was locked so I posted here.


OneDrive always tries to connect when I login on to my Windows 10 system.


I frequently don't have a internet connection in the summer months and OneDrive

always displays a error message saying it can't connect.


How can I prevent this from happening.?

I checked in the task manager and OneDrive has been disabled in the startup tab.


Thank you in advance for any help offered to resolve this problem.

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.
