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.
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.
I mean, honestly, just try dual-booting a Linux.
It's super easy, it's a fun little 45 minute project, and absolute worst case, you can undo everything without messing up your Windows install.
Okay, but as soon as something like this starts to catch on Microsoft removes those settings in an update.
