Okay, I can play this game.
Opens control panel and uninstalls onedrive
Opens Appdata and Program Files folders and removes leftover onedrive bits
Opens Regedit and wipes out any remnants from there
Wonderful. All set up now.
Then windows force installs another buggy update that also reinstalls onedrive for your convenience.
These "" seem to have fallen from around the word convenience, so I picked them up for you.
Thx fren
Fullscreen ad after update:
"HEY HAVE YOU TRIED ONEDRIVE 365 TOTAL PREMIUM FAMILY BUSINESS PLAN?!
("No thanks" is in tiny 2 pt. font at the very bottom right, far from the "YES PLEASE" button, and only highlights after clicking that zone 3 times.)
Oh, I see you turned off Ad Personalization. Silly, that must've been a mistake. We fixed that for you!
...And you're not using Edge...clearly that was a whoopsie. Fixed!"
MAKE SURE YOU OPEN ONEDRIVE AND UNSYNC EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL IT
OneDrive loves to start moving files into the cloud without asking for permission, and if you remove OneDrive without checking this you may inadvertently delete them from your PC. Ask how I know
Use revounistaller next time, it does all that stuff for you
Geek Uninstaller as well

Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Always! Please tell me everything! :)
Okay.
He's Finnish
I happily had one note for 8 years. One note 2017. Used it offline. All my notes.
Windows 10 put Microsoft 365 on my computer. Tried to sync a bunch of stuff too OneDrive. I said no. Still it made my desktop on one drive. It kept trying to sync documents. A constant nuisance.
This year I tried to save my taxes to my One Note files. I was told they were erased. I couldn't imagine what was going on. They were on my computer, local and private. But no I would have to log into OneDrive and rebuild them if I wanted to use my files. I could see them. But I couldn't open them, I couldn't save new things, I couldn't do anything, unless I logged into OneDrive.
I uninstalled Windows and installed Linux Mint 22.1. I ain't going back no more.
This used to be called malware.
This is why I installed Linux once M$ started forcing AI everywhere. Stealing my data should not be the goal of any operating system.
The fact that all of this has been normalized so quickly shows how inefficient we are at stopping these attacks, and how defenseless society is to them. It's such a shame.

Every. Single. Update.
Sheesh.
And Copilot
You know the answer to this problem.
Linux master race
Just finally made the jump this week. Keeping the dual boot to finish my masters in a known stable environment with all the only-necessary-for-school-programs and then gleefully deleting it as part of my graduation celebration.
Same here! I've been dabbling with various linux distros a week here and a week there over the past decade. Now that I've finally given up on the few games that need kernel-level anticheats (like LoL and Battlefield), I'm staying permanently as all my other games work great. I probably wouldn't have jumped ship yet if steam (proton) wasn't where it's at now, though.
Since windows is on my smallest and slowest SSD I figured I'll just keep the dual-boot option indefinitely, mainly for helping friends and family troubleshoot windows-bullshit, or for the (now very) rare moments I need an app that doesn't exist or have an equivalent on linux.
I've finally given up on the few games that need kernel-level anticheats (like LoL and Battlefield)
That part was tough for me too. Same games! Well, it was tough but once they started this kernel-level stuff, I just cold-turkey dropped it. It's so shady.
I give EasyAntiCheat a narrow-glared cautious pass because it shuts itself off when the game is no longer played, at least.
Riot's garbage wanted to watch your machine at all times. Yeegh.
No shame in dual booting. I did that for a long time too. :) My Win10 has been getting crazy dusty though...
But the only thing I'm keeping it around for anymore instead of just VMing it is what's left of WMR VR support that they dropped.
Thankfully Monado is doing really good work on that front. :D
I suggest uninstalling or not signing in.
Does not work permanently. The only way is switching to proper software.

I seem to be the only one who likes Onedrive
I used to think it was decent too before they started moving my files off my PC into the cloud without consent
You are. Definitively. The Sole OneDrive Fan.
I liked that it was easy to find on sale for like $30 a year, cheap 1tb backup. I'm getting more annoyed with Microsoft in general now though.
Yeah, my experience with it is that its...fine. Though I only use it on my work computer. I'm wondering if part of the issue is the home version 'offering' to hoover everything.
I fucking love onedrive. I have the family plan so everyone I'm close to gets the 1 terabyte version and it has saved me so much trouble. It has been one of my most reliable tools and I would say one of the best Windows products I have ever used. I can't say I understand the problem with it, there are so many other issues with windows you could be mad about, why pick one of the few good things left about that ecosystem.
Two big ones for me:
- Don’t fucking call it “desktop”. I accidentally saved some files to my “one drive desktop” and it took forever to figure out where the hell my files went.
- I work everywhere… my house, office, client locations etc. I’m not always connected to the internet and NEED my files to be local to my laptop or I have to get my phone out and tether a network which is sometimes slow as hell.
One drive can eat a bag of dicks.
Windows setup is some bullshit. Just make a tickbox list you needy fucks
5 min startup time.
