  1. Unable to stop One Drive Sync - Folders constantly being changed to read-only


    I'm having serious issues with Win 11. A few weeks ago it started complaining I was running out of space on OneDrive, wherein I had tried repeatedly to turn off syncing for the bulk of my own files Documents, Photos, Videos. I do video editing and graphic design work, so the size of most files is pretty large. As I have my own means of backing up my files, I don't want to use OneDrive at all. Every time I have turned that off, Win 11 goes and turns it back on when I go to save a file. Also, it is constantly changing all of these folders to read-only status, again even though I have manually

    :)

  2. Folder View settings constantly changing

    Is there any way to stop Windows 10 from constantly changing my folder view settings. throughout the day I am constantly moving between different folders for work and am constantly changing the view settings. I like the detail view, apparently Microsoft
    does not and keeps changing to list, Large Icons, etc., etc.

    Unable to stop One Drive Sync - Folders constantly being changed to read-only

    Mail/Calendar App Stopped syncing and Unistack Services Group using C Drive constantly

    Recently the Windows 10 Mail and Calendar Apps have stopped syncing (won't update) and I noticed that the C Drive is constantly running at 100% with read/writes. Task Manager says that the Unistack Services Group is using the majority of the disk drive.
    Restarting doesn't help. Any ideas?
