Windows 10: Windows Media Player 12 keeps including OneDrive as a library

How do I stop WMP 12 from including OneDrive as a library and thus duplication of music against what is stored on my C: drive?

I have gone into Organise - Manage Libraries - Music and removed the OneDrive entry but after a reboot or on fresh start-up it just reappears.

I only want WMP to look at my local C: library but still want "Music" to be synced within the OneDrive app settings.

Any help appreciated.

How do I stop Media Player from adding OneDrive Music to the library

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work. After receiving your reply, I performed the steps as you suggested. That was two days ago. Yesterday, when I checked, OneDrive\Music was still
not in the library. Today, different story. OneDrive\Music is again included in the library and Media Player is now updating the library and producing two copies of everything to me. Not only that but since I had
the OneDrive Music folder set to not take up space on my local hard drive, Media Player has begun to download everything from the Cloud and I now have two copies of the files on my PC. That equates to 43 GB of music and artwork doubled. Kind of a waste of
space. Blocking the app has no effect. It just keeps restarting. I suspect it is because it isn't a Windows Store App.

Hi Paul,

I suggest you to sync iTunes with Windows Media Player and check if it helps.

Follow the steps below to sync iTunes with Windows Media Player

• Double-click on the Windows Media Player icon.
• Right-click inside the toolbar at the top of Windows Media Player. Click "File" and "Manage Libraries."
• Right-click inside the toolbar at the top of Windows Media Player. Click "File" and "Manage Libraries."
• Click "Add." Add the library where your iTunes music is stored to Windows Media Player. This is the directory that was selected when iTunes was initially installed. Click "OK." iTunes and Windows Media Player will be synced.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.
