    How to turn off OneDrive with Group Policy.

    Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive.

    • Save documents to OneDrive by default: Disabled
    • Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until the user signs in to OneDrive: Enabled
    • Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage: Enabled

    The last setting disables OneDrive on your system; make sure to change it to Disabled if you use OneDrive.

    Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

      If I may suggest, there is another way to remove OneDrive, and it can also remove Edge, Teams, Copilot, Recall, or any unwanted bloat from Microsoft. This is a permanent solution and it doesn’t even require to fiddle with the registry editor.

      This ultimate Windows debloat utility comes in the form of a free and open-source operating system called GNU/Linux. Learn more at https://www.debian.org/ and https://fedoraproject.org/

      Jokes aside, thanks for your service for those that can’t or won’t use an operating system that respects their choices.

        I mean, honestly, just try dual-booting a Linux.

        It’s super easy, it’s a fun little 45 minute project, and absolute worst case, you can undo everything without messing up your Windows install.
