Hello,
I got a brand new computer which I set up the first week of July, with a pre-installed version of Win 10 Pro. The first thing I had to do was to disable OneDrive, as it was set as the default place for everything, and cleared the desktop of all the Win 10 tiles and stuff that I didn't want there (i.e., everything). I loaded all my software programs, (sorry …. Apps), and all was well. Then later in July, along came the Version 2004 upgrade, so I am now running Win 10 Pro with that upgrade, build 19041.388 (Intel core i7 CPU generation 9 with 32 Gb RAM, 1 Tb SSD for Windows, and a 4 Tb HDD). Suddenly, my dear friend OneDrive was back, uninvited, and hijacked a load of files including a lot of the Desktop stuff; although I have repeatedly tried to unlink it, disable it and banish it to the wastes of Siberia, I have ended up with two Desktop folders, two Downloads, two Documents (etc., etc.,), with more or less duplicated entries in all sets …. and OneDrive still hijacks my programs as the default storage setting for files generated in these programs…. it is driving me to distraction, and the window is looking more and more attractive through which to launch my computer. Please, how can I KILL OneDrive once and for all? I really don't want to do a reinstall of Windows, because it takes me more than 3 days to load and configure all my software (sorry …. Apps), but if I need to, then I will. Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you very much in advance for preserving my sanity, the well-being of my computer, and for obviating the need to replace a double-glazed window!
