Last night, Windows 10 told me it needed to update itself. I gave in and now that I try to use it again it contains several new problems that come up at uncalled-for moments.
One of them is that something tries to start OneDrive, which I'm not using. To be exact, the message is
C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe
Windows cannnot find 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. OK |
When I then acknowledge this (“OK”, which presumably means “retry” here, is the only option it gives me, but the same happens when I click the x button in the top right corner), it just goes ahead on its own without even asking and calls https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-us/.
Another one is the nagging message
Welcome to Office

(Yes, I know that MS Office is not MS Windows. But that came with the update of Windows.)
Does anyone know how to cure these dysfunctional afflictions? I couldn't find anything suspicious in the Apps & features settings, and nothing in the Startup folder. I uninstalled the non security related parts of last night's update and rebooted, but in vain. Throwaway20191211 ( talk) 12:31, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, Wakari07. I had thought of the Apps & features settings, but not of the Registry. But there's nothing suspicious, either. I had done a quick search on the MS answers page, but gave up quickly because I figured it's not in the company's interest that users deinstall features the company is pushing so desperately.
