Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why

I have uninstalled One Drive and enabled a system policy that supposedly sets the default save location to c:\user\documents, and after every single fucking update it defaults back to one drive, hangs for 30 seconds until the stupid ass system realizes that there’s no such thing present, and then it opens a “save as” dialogue with some arbitrary path in %user_apps/appdata/onedrive.

A better fix would be uninstalling Windows

You know that’s a novel and insightful musing that no one’s ever thought to share before.
It’s brave of you to go on Lemmy and suggest the solution to a Windows problem is to uninstall it.

A lot of people on lemmy long ago realized that if you have enough problems with windows, the problem is windows.

That fix has a lot of side effects that might break something. Unless you’re intimately familiar with their setup and use case, destructive solutions aren’t a safe recommendation.

It’s a work computer, so the answer is no.
