How to turn off OneDrive with Group Policy.

Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive.

  • Save documents to OneDrive by default: Disabled
  • Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until the user signs in to OneDrive: Enabled
  • Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage: Enabled

The last setting disables OneDrive on your system; make sure to change it to Disabled if you use OneDrive.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    Just give Linux a shot.

    Why keep using a shit system brought to you by a company in bed with fascists?

    Cause Linux keeps crashing with my 16 core Ryzen. Windows power management is just better it seems.

    I have a 16 core 9950X3D, never crashed with Linux in about a year of 24/7 uptime. I think you might have some hardware issues?

    Apparently known issues with the 5000 series of 12/16 cores. Numerous reports but no fixes that worked for me including a full reinstall. I would have gone with a newer mobo/cpu if ram weren't so damn expensive

    If I may suggest, there is another way to remove OneDrive, and it can also remove Edge, Teams, Copilot, Recall, or any unwanted bloat from Microsoft. This is a permanent solution and it doesn't even require to fiddle with the registry editor.

    This ultimate Windows debloat utility comes in the form of a free and open-source operating system called GNU/Linux. Learn more at https://www.debian.org/ and https://fedoraproject.org/

    Jokes aside, thanks for your service for those that can't or won't use an operating system that respects their choices.
