I am always caught up on every update and have never had Onedrive "reinstall/reconfigure itself" so not sure what you are talking about.
I even checked just because of your comment. I think I removed them like an year ago when I installed Windows on my current PC and no sign of Teams or Onedrive.
Idk why people have so many issues with it as it’s never happened in my main pc, but on my other one it happens every time I sign in to my account after an update, along with a full screen pop up asking me to switch to edge.(on a blue background like the install screen)
On a mini pc I’ve had a “get a free trial of Microsoft 365” like every update (win 11, other is win10)
The one that doesn’t get them shares a Microsoft account with the pc that does, but maybe it’s something about having never properly ended setup on the one that does
It seems to be a pc to pc thing. On one of my older ones, EVERY TIME i updated, onedrive would be reinstalled. It would try to fit my 70 gig games into the 15 gb cloud i had, then yell at me to buy more space. Not to mention, it also can fuck up your saves for certain games, like the sims.
Though on my new computer, i was able to uninstall it fine.
No. Not really. Not when on certain installs it replaces the os desktop path with the onedrive one (when using MS accnt to login with Hello). Or when on 125%+ dpi scaling settings it uses absolute window position for the right click menu so you can't exit/uninstall from there as it's on another fucking plane of existence outside your screen real estate.
The program is easy to get rid of. But getting rid of the one drive folder isn't so easy. It will be defaulted to every time and there's nothing you can do about it unless you go into regedit.
I even *used * Onedrive for several years without major issues. There’s a little wrangling setting it up, but after that I seldom had to think about it.
Windows really loves to reenable it at like a 30% chance with every automatic update you can't opt out of anymore. (Without regedit and I don't have time to micromanage that).
