Well, until Microsoft does another major update and restores everything that you removed. When you remove OneDrive, odds are you won't be able to get it back. There's no interface, it must be run as an administrator, and once you run it, there's no stopping it. We say, advanced users because batch files aren't for everyone. OneDrive ceased to be an option when they removed the Placeholder Files Windows was usable for decades without OneDrive, so I don't see how disabling it makes any less since than using Windows 7 was in 2009.OneDrive-Uninstaller is a batch file for advanced users to uninstall One Drive in Windows 10. People wouldn't have to resort to this if Microsoft simply had a toggle in the settings to disable OneDrive, which allowed you to sign out, remove it from Start Up, and remove the Icons from File Explorer and the Start Menu when toggled off in the settings (or in Add/Remove Windows Components, like you can do with IE11). I don't think Home has the Group Policy Editor. This also only works on Windows Pro, IIRC. If you don't use OneDrive, at all, then this is what you should be doing. This is the deal, regardless if you think the power requirements of running that extra service is noticeable or negligible. It's still going to Sync the root folder, so it's still going to be running in the background and looking checking for changes. Battery Life is a thing, and there's no need to waste it on a service or application you *never* intend to use just because you can tell it not to sync any sub-folders. The App will still run in the background. I use the service, but not the application is only staying active on my desktop now.
The removal of placeholders from OneDrive killed the application for me, I can't use it in the way that I want and it's pointless to have running on my mobile devices which don't have a TB of storage to spare.
Not only does it get rid of the "lost drive" and setup multiple times a day, but I can also access it from anywhere in the house instead of only while docked. Now, I have external my drive hooked up to a desktop and mapped a network drive on my Surface to it so it. Also, having to go through the setup process multiple times a day to tell it where to find my storage each time I do dock it is irritating. I bought an external hard drive and use it for all of my data that I want synced but, I don't travel to / from work or around the house with that drive and it gets old having the machine say the drive is missing when I use it anywhere but at home on my dock.

I use OneDrive but not on my Surface or Venue 8 Pro anymore, so it's getting turned off.īecause of the change to OneDrive in Win10, I don't use it as my goto storage.

Originally, as I never had one, I purchased a Windows 10 phone to 'try something different' - a decision which is going to be regretful. :))Įdit: In my Edit mode, here on / I can see the screenshots, which I had added, but they aren't showing up in the post (for me?!).

I have, as of yet, been unable to create an account, which is NOT a Microsoft account, with which I can - for example - access the store, to install Viber (the simplest, possible, thing cannot be done, without getting sucked-into the Micro$oft account machine, or so it would appear I'm still not giving up on this, hehe - gonna factory reset the phone & try again. This new phone, which they had given me back under warranty - whether it was due to running Update & security (Backup, Find My Phone), Phone update:

Screenshot I had received a slightly (?!) older 550, which had been returned as factory faulty (very misfortunate, as I now find out), it was possible to: All settings, Accounts (Your accounts, email, sync, Kid's Corner), Your email and accounts - Accounts used by other apps (Add a work or school account) it had been possible to add an account there, which would've worked with the Store, to enable me to download (& install) software to the phone - a non-Micro$oft acct.Īn account SEPARATE from a/the Microsoft account, which is integrated with Services (such as Skype, Syncing, Spying) & have a fully functional device. On my (Windows) Lumia 550 Phone: I have not set up an account yet, but when I go to Contacts - the names are labeled as 'Microsoft account'. & yet, would've gotten hammered with negative votes - had you guys not intervened /posted.
