Windows 10: Windows 11 Search & OneDrive

Hi,My Windows 11 search locates files on my OneDrive, but will not open them. My work around is to open the path, scroll to the file, and open it from File Explorer. If I search for files saved to my hard drive they will open with no issue. Please help. Thanks,Danny

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.

Windows 8 Clubhouse

Windows 10 Build 9879 released (last update for 2014).

New features:

1) a checkbox menu option where you can turn off/on Task View and Search icons in the toolbar (I got rid of them XD)





2) simplified OneDrive experience

W10 will now use what MS calls selective sync, where you'll need to specify what's saved to your PC, and what MS keeps in its OneDrive cloud. MS appears to be killing OneDrive app, allowing users access to OneDrive strictly through the File Explorer. (fuck yeah!)





3) 5 new three-finger gestures to swipe through Windows 10's UI

• 3 fingers up launches Task View

• 3 fingers down to Show Desktop

• 3 fingers flick to left/right to switch to previous app (go back 1)

• 3 fingers move left/right: Alt-Tab (Task View) pops up, and you can select the app you want (remove fingers to select)

• 3-finger tap: Search

4) Snap Assist works across multiple monitors

5) New IE that utilizes Edge rendering engine, designed for improved compatibility with the various sites on the Web.

6) MKV container support!!! Users can now play MKV files directly from Windows Media Player, including desktop and modern apps), along with proper thumbnail images and MKV support.
