How to Disable OneDrive Windows 10
If you’re not a fan of OneDrive, the best way to disable it is to simply unlink your Microsoft account from it. Doing this will prevent OneDrive from starting up automatically when you sign in to Windows 10.
To unlink your Microsoft account from OneDrive, open the OneDrive app and click the hamburger menu in the top-left corner. Click Settings, then click the Unlink This PC option.
If you want to go one step further and prevent OneDrive from being installed on your PC altogether, you can do so by modifying the Windows Registry. To do this, open the Registry Editor by typing “regedit” into the Start menu.
In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive
If this key doesn’t exist, you’ll need to create it. To do this, right-click on the Windows key and select New > Key. Name the new key OneDrive.
Once you’ve got the OneDrive key created, right-click on it and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value DisableFileSyncNGSC and set its value to 1.
Exit the Registry Editor and restart your computer. OneDrive should now be disabled.
