Would actively fuck apps up because it would register as a file touch and break things that expected unchanged file content

My end user had three documents.

  1. In oneDrive, localised to Spanish
  2. In oneDrive, still in English
  3. The actual document folder

Guess where they put all the files that I wanted to be put in /documents?

OneDrive: fuck no you’re not doing that shit

Yeah, my factory windows install died and refused to boot up, because I spent too long without creating an account or some ransom shit like that...I was sad for a second...then I booted back to Debian as I do every day :))

I've never had an account.. not sure what weirdness you experienced but I've never once been pestered or asked for a login. Infact, the only thing I get is the 'lets finish setting up windows' full screen trash, which is just a window and I can alt-f4 to close. It's been years like that.

But housing it behind a key combination is malicious for the average user.

I can totally relate. I went and built a NAS then installed Proxmox on it to then create a VM for TrueNAS in which i then created a docker for Nextclound. Then I installed Arch on a different VM and used Nextcloud sync so I can have access to my files on my laptop that also runs Arch. Humblebrag over, I apologize for trying to relate to a windows user.

This is one thing I still can't seem to rid myself of with Windows 10. Is there something in the Windows 10 Pro group policy thing I can do to send OneDrive back to hell from whence it came? I've only managed to get my files to save to a directory not controlled by it, however the quick links to media folders still point to the one drive folder even after manually changing them numerous times.

Windows 11 finally allows you to simply uninstall OneDrive. Before that you had to do weird registry hacks, that often broke something :-/

OOAPB says go away and o&o shutup10 says shut up. Coupled with winutil power shell script you can take control of the your macroshaft product.
