    Windows 10 - Control panel and OneDrive not opening

    Hello Ron,

    • What happens when you click on Control Panel?
    • Do you get any error message or code?
    • Did you install all pending Windows updates?

    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.
