    Why did OneDrive screw up all of my gaming services


    My computer told me I had to sign back into my OneDrive today so I did and low and behold I literally have to delete ALL of my games that are on my computers through Epic Games and Steam because I CANNOT PLAY THEM. Everything else works okay, but I hate onedrive I think its a terrible service that I do not want on my computer at all. Why did it do this? Why are all of my games files corrupted? What happened? Why is it only games through the launchers, and not minecraft? what happened to my computer????

    :)

    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.

    Microsoft Service Blocking Games

    What I meant by disabling Microsoft services was the following:

    • Leaving "Hide Microsoft Services" unchecked, disable all services
    • Check "Hide Microsoft Services", enable all services
    • Un-check "Hide Microsoft Services", ensure most are still disabled (the ones that cannot be disabled were left enabled).
    This solved the issue for both the games, and the display settings pane.

    I have also tried a proper clean boot, disabling all non-MS services, and also disabling any MS services related to "Display", "Graphics", "XBox", and "Gaming" - this did not solve the issue.

    Re-registering the settings app did not solve the issue.

    Uninstalling the display driver with DDU and reinstalling with the latest AMD driver did not solve the issues.

    Turning off non-MS services does not solve the issues (troubleshooting step 4).

    Malwarebytes and Bitdefender premium both report no infections (step 7).

    SFC and DISM report no issues (step 10).

    New Local Admin account does not solve the issues (Step 17).

    I am in the process of preparing the Repair Install, and will report back once complete.
