So anyway, you may have noticed in win10 that OneDrive is included and cant be uninstalled in most versions because it's intertwined heavily with windows10.
If your a fan, that's a good thing, if you're like me, i don't want it and will not use it, ever, solely because i view it as just a money making option for MS, the idea being, they want you to run out of space so you need to purchase more... ( they recently reduced the free default size given to users.. gee i wonder why !! )
So when i setup my win10 machine i didn't add a microsoft account email , so i don't sign into my windows with one either..
I prefer this because i have no desire to use most of MS's online stuff at any point anyway, maybe that could change , but not right now.
Sooo when ever certain file process's are used the OneDrive login box pops up asking for my email... so annoying ..
So i went to the MS help forums looking for a way to disable, if not uninstall onedrive.. find another guy with windows home version, also asking this question.
Reading the reply's he gets, 1 microsoft guy and 2 insider's all reply saying the same thing, "just use gpedit.msc to disable onedrive and also uncheck the (autostart with windows) option"
2 problems here, win10 home edition doesn't include the gpedit.msc policy editor, apparently MS's doesn't want home users to edit any policy options for windows.
You would think these MS guys would know this !!!, not to mention the very first message posted says that gpedit.msc is missing from win10 home computers... confirmed by numerous other guys on numerous other forums...
I swear the MS people replying ignore or don't even read the posted message content, and only reply with "caned" responses based on the message title. ( a caned response is a preformed reply to save time, and they expect it will be helpful to the majority ).
So i basically i state this in my message, that this is a run-around process of MS answering the message, without answering the message...
So i get a response the next day, cant you guess what it is ??
Yet a 4th response telling to use pgedit.msc to fix the problem...
Again i reply stating the obvious of how many times this has been said already and cant be used...
So i get a new response today, guess what it says....
This time it asks me if OneDrive auto-start with windows has been unchecked.....
ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME, this has been mention at least twice by me already.. again ... they haven't read the messages posted, or at the most just glanced over them to save time.
Beyond my better judgment, i decided to once again state the obvious and mention yet again what has already been said..
These damn MS people just don't read the messages and assume a caned response will help 80% of those asking for help so they don't need to actually read what you have to say to help you..... or so they think.
This isn't the first time i've been on the MS help forums, the last time it took 4 messages involving 4 test process's over 4 days of " do this and reply back with the results" ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, " i'm sorry you can't do that ", which is what i knew they were going to tell me in the first place............
