Windows 10: WHY does OneDrive constantly keep trying to backup all of the photos on my desktop even...

I'm sick of turning on my laptop and having onedrive constantly trying to backup all 9000+ of my photos on my desktop. I have to constantly turn it off every single damn time I turn my laptop on. Then after it backs up whatever it does I have to delete them then recover them to get the photos back onto my desktop. I'm sick of it! I got a 128gb laptop so I can KEEP my photos on my laptop, NOT on onedrive!

Why Does OneDrive Keep Trying To Backup My Desktop And How Do I Stop It?

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service provided by Microsoft that automatically backs up files and folders to the cloud. It is possible that OneDrive is attempting to back up your desktop files because the "Desktop" folder is included in the list of folders that are being synced by default.

To disable the backup of your Desktop folder, you can follow these steps:

Open OneDrive on your computer and click on the "Settings" icon in the taskbar.

Click on the "Backup" tab.

Under "Folders to back up," click on "Manage backup."

Deselect the checkbox next to "Desktop."

Click "OK" to save your changes.

This should stop OneDrive from attempting to back up your Desktop folder. If you want to disable OneDrive entirely, you can also follow these steps:

Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.

Select "Settings."

Click on the "Account" tab.

Click "Unlink this PC."

This will unlink your computer from OneDrive and disable the syncing of your files and folders.

 

Onedrive will not backup my desktop

I switched to a new laptop and put Onedrive on it. It backups up everything, but I get a message that says, ""the desktop folder contains other important folders and isn't supported for file backup"". Suggestions so I can back up my desktop?
