    Problem Accessing OneDrive's Setting


    I cannot access SETTINGS on One Drive to make a change.

    The settings link does not activate when I click on ' Help and Settings ' on the Icon.

    One Drive syncing has been paused. Is this the problem ?

    I want to disable auto storage to one drive

    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 Desktop Problems

    I believe this is the AutoProtection feature in OneDrive that is not very well explained by Microsoft. Instead of keeping a local copy of your files, it moves all of the local folders to the OneDrive folder, and creates symlinks (that don't always work) in place of local content.

    To disable, go to OneDrive settings - Auto-save - choose folders to unprotect.

    You will then have to manually move the files/folders from OneDrive to the actual local place (so OneDrive/Desktop will need to be moved to %userfolder%/Desktop to restore local access)

    Problem Accessing OneDrive's Setting

    Help - OneDrive/Quick Access bypass not working


    Sorry for the late reply. I missed your post somehow. *Sad

    By default, the Documents from the Start list opens to Documents in This PC. The Documents folder in This PC is just a link of your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Documents" folder though.

    Since it opens to your OneDrive location instead, it sounds like you have Documents set to save to OneDrive by default. You can use the same steps in OPTION ONE of the tutorial below to set Documents to save to the default This PC only again.
