Windows 10: Syncing two machines with onedrive - data loss

I have two computers with the same Microsoft account and a file in the "Documents" folder on OneDrive on both machines. When I change the file on one machine, the other machine syncs and usually replaces it's version with the updated version. However occaisionally, the version on Machine 1 gets replaced by the pre-sync'd version on Machine 2, so losing the updates to the data in Machine 1.Lets call the file F with the content 1so to start M1.F1 is the same as M2.F1I change M1.F1 to M1.F2both machines syncM2.f now contains 2 as expectedbut sometimesI change M1.F1 to M1.F2some syn

Hi Keegan,

• Select Email OneDrive Support.
• Fill out the box and include the following:

• Device/Time the files were seen.
• Folder/file names that went missing.
• Permission to view the OD Account History.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

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.
