Windows 10: Two computers, one desktop in OneDrive

Recently I bought a minicomputer for the purpose of mirroring my main computer in case it dies. I immediately did a clean install on the mini to get rid of a bunch of stuff I don't need and don't want on the mini. In fact, I have gone through many clean installs trying to get the desktop on OneDrive to be a common desktop for both computers. At onetime time early on, it worked very well. There was no desktop folder on either computer, only on OneDrive. When I would move a desktop icon to a different location on one computer, the icon would move on the other computer.&nb

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.

Hello Francis,

Doing the steps below to install the latest version of OneDrive may be able to help.

1. Download and install the latest version of OneDrive that's rolling out with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After your computer restarts, select the Start button, search for “OneDrive”, and then select the OneDrive desktop app.
4. When OneDrive Setup starts, enter your personal account, or your work or school account, and then select Sign in.

Ok, success. Had to unlink account and sign in again to change location to my E: drive
