This is one thing I still can't seem to rid myself of with Windows 10. Is there something in the Windows 10 Pro group policy thing I can do to send OneDrive back to hell from whence it came? I've only managed to get my files to save to a directory not controlled by it, however the quick links to media folders still point to the one drive folder even after manually changing them numerous times.

I'm confused. Are you logged in to OneDrive?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I loathe OneDrive. It's the flakiest, most unreliable piece of software in MS's current end-user-focused stable...

...but it still needs you to log in. If you log out from OneDrive it does nothing. It's a separate login from the Windows login, too, if you've used one of those to install Windows.

I genuinely haven't used Win10 in enough time I don't recall if it gave you more notifications to re-enable it, but after refusing to log in and taking OneDrive out of my startup tasks I don't think it's come up again on any of my Windows devices.

Can confirm. I have never had W10P bug me about OneDrive. I don't have, nor will I ever have an account for microshit. Local user only. All files stored locally and have never been promoted to do otherwise.
