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


    I have been having issues with OneDrive recently. More specifically, it's beenbacking up my desktop files or, at least, it's been trying to. As a result, my icons have been getting green checkmarks or Xs, if it fails. It's worth mentioning that the preinstalled version of OneDrive does not open, and installing the version from the Microsoft store did not give me the option to disable it. What's more, I did not consent to having this happen. I want to ask this to be completely disabled by default
