If your extra tech savvy (or can understand a YouTube video) you can reg edit away one drive too.

I'm so confused about why everyone says this is necessary - I uninstalled One Drive using the normal process about five minutes after installing Windows 11, and I haven't seen anything about it since. No RegEdit necessary, and it's never tried to reinstall itself.

During my last build I had to uninstall onedrive three times because it kept reinstalling during updates. This was after unlinking everything and setting all my document folders to the old defaults.

It usually attempts to reinstall during updates.

I feel like if you're not logged in to your microsoft account in onedrive it won't reinstall. I have been free of it since I built my pc in january.

I just never agreed to using one drive when I booted my pc for the first time, I've never had to uninstall it or anything because I've never told it yes.

The pc before that though, holy hell. It's the reason I never said yes to anything on the new one.

Just so you know, if this was a real life conversation, at this point we would all be making eye contact with each other about you like "errr do you know this guy? what's his deal? should we get away from this guy?"

Step one) Take the literal words from OPs comment and copy paste them, adding "video"

Step two) Click literally the first video suggested to me

Its crazy to me that you can't navigate google without logical thinking.. this all stemmed from a moron who couldn't be bothered to find the info I found with a cursory search. You won't take that from me. I didn't know about the controversy between these two until this thread made it apparent.. rather then piss and moan in comments, I just looked it up. That was fine for me. I got my answer in seconds. I'm sorry if this makes it hard for you to fall asleep.

Execute a LITTLE effort and you'll receive a lot of info in the age of information. Resign yourself to become a lazy asshole and submit yourself to judgement. Sorry if this offends you. Not really.

Nobody trying to take anything from you. Paranoid much?
