What? Just make a local profile. Or use a Pro license and disable One Drive through Group Policy. Or uninstall the functionality through PowerShell.
There’s a ton of reliable ways to stop One Drive, you just have to look them up. They have to have these options to disable it for business and government customers. Why are you talking like you don’t have any control?
Why does everyone talk about Windows like you can’t disable all this shit?
I say it’s because Microsoft keeps coming up with new roadblocks to nag you into doing what they want, every month.
So even if it is possible to take 10 minutes to figure out how to disable it each time, you’re still left to Microsoft’s whims as to whether that will remain effective or if they will throw more roadblocks.
The only way to win is to not play Microsoft’s game.
I wasn’t trying to disable it. I wanted to move it off my puny OS drive SSD to a huge spin drive. It fought me tooth and nail even though it has a move button. I tried many ways including regedit until I finally gave up and turned it off.
The worst part was when I was trying to manually copy the files and it kept telling me I needed do purchase more cloud storage – to do a local file copy!
I concluded this obstinance was by design to sell more product. Especially after using Steam to shuffle some of my games around later that same day. Their software is wonderful now!
