OneDrive is the well-known cloud storage service that has saved many of us from a tight spot thanks to its backup of documents and photos. Unfortunately, it can also become a nuisance in Windows 10, where it's pre-installed. We say nuisance because if you don't use this cloud storage service, it makes little sense to have to see it almost constantly in Microsoft's new operating system.
Therefore, in this short tutorial, we'll explain how to disable OneDrive in Windows 10 so it doesn't become a nuisance in your daily life . However, we highly recommend that if you use Microsoft software, there's no better cloud storage service.
The first step we must take to deactivate OneDrive in Windows 10 is to prevent it from starting automatically. To do this, we look for the service icon in the notification area and click on it with the right button. Now we access the "Configuration" options. In them we must uncheck the option "Start OneDrive automatically when logging in to Windows."
With this small change, OneDrive will no longer start every time you log in to Windows 10, significantly reducing the inconvenience . Unfortunately, it won't disappear from File Explorer, where it will continue to appear even when it's not running.
Hopefully Microsoft will offer us with future Windows 10 updates the possibility of completely removing OneDrive from our operating system session, although the truth is that I doubt it very much and that is that the cloud storage service is one of its great bets.
Do you use OneDrive as your cloud storage service, or do you prefer one of the other available options?
