Windows 10: Windows Media Player automatically shares Onedrive folders

Windows 10 1709 (16299.125) and WMP 12.0.16299.64.
I have uploaded all my music (mp3 files) to Onedrive, and the folder is unshared.
The problem I have is Windows Media Player shares the Onedrive songs (and pictures) without permission.
I have deleted the Onedrive folder from WMP library, but on each reboot, WMP puts it back.
There are over 30,000 songs so my WMP song and playlist database is showing everything twice... once from the local PC and once from the cloud.
How can I permanently remove this onedrive folder from the WMP library?

Windows media player automatically shares OneDrive pictures folder on network

HI,

This is very frustrating problem. I have setup windows media player on my PC to stream videos on my home network so my family can access and watch videos in our living room TV. it works and streams without problems.

The problem is, Windows Media Player has also decided to stream media content found on my Onedrive account and make it available to anyone connected to our network. I tried all options (managing libraries and deleting the shared Onedrive folders which I
found in the list, limiting TV access to only videos on a shared folder on my PC etc). this fixes the problem for a short time only to find Windows Media Player re-connecting to my Onedrive folders the next day and availing everything on the network!! this
has happened several times and I have no clue how to prevent WMP from insisting on sharing my onedrive folders !! nothing also in Onedrive settings that specify permission to stream content to my network.

I think this is a major privacy issue for windows 10 since I just discovered that WMP was availing by default all my media content on my PC and onedrive back up to my home network for a while which can be accessed by any guest visiting
and connecting to my wifi.

 

Windows media player automatically shares OneDrive pictures folder on network

HI,

Thanks but this is not the problem I have (onedrive folder sharing). The problem is the Windows Media Player is linking to my OneDrive pictures folder and availing all the content (13 GB of back up pictures from PC and my mobile) on my home network which
can be accessed by anyone connecting to the my home network. Despite going to WMP and deleting the Onedrive folder from the shared folders list (right click on pictures/Manage Pictures Libraries and then remove OneDrive pictures folder) the dang WMP still
reconnects and addes Onedrive folder back to the list of libraries to be shared !

this is frustrating because first, WMP should not automatically connects by default to Onedrive without specifically requesting it the first place, then when I delete it form the list, it should not reconnect to it.
