    Stop windows search in onedrive


    Hello Forum,
    When I use my search windows, It always search first my one drive. I Really want to stop it. Just want windows to search things that are on my computer.
    Any idea?
    Cheers

    :)

    Something keeps adding onedrive folders to libraries

    By disabling onedrive, I was able to determine that it was onedrive that was adding them back in.

    I searched thorough the registry to find any references to the folders and found some in the shellfolders key, alongside the regular shellfolders. I removed these, and the problem stopped.

    How did they get into the shellfolders key in the registry?

    Unfortunately, problem doesn't go away.
    I have disabled cloud search... but every time i search my computer. One drive comes first.

    THIS DRIVES MY CRAZY.
    any idea what else I need to disable?

    Cheers
