Exactly! Make Store Files Locally Only the obvious option, that's like kicking the potential customer right out of the store!
Hi, well I just got a brand new HP laptop with Win11 and there was NO such prompt during setup with anything about OneDrive or where to save files.Hello,
Usually, you'll see this screen below during Windows Setup. You'll have to click/tap on the small Only save files to this PC link instead of Next button to not sync with OneDrive.
Ahh, figured that... and for a while it's also been that you can't opt to use a local PC account during setup either - you HAVE to enter or create a Microsoft (online) account... though you can switch the PC to a local account after setup is completed (unless that's changed also).Hello, and welcome.
Yeah, unfortunately, OneDrive is turned on and used by default now when setting up a Microsoft account during Windows Setup.

@Brink The bits and pieces are certainly there, but what I meant was pulling it all together in a single script to make a new Windows computer as if OneDrive never existed on it.
To borrow a word from a previous poster, MS changes the 'minefield' every so often to virtually force install OneDrive on every new Windows computer.
Rather than navigating every change of the 'minefield', let MS install OneDrive on the new computer.
Then the single script exorcises OneDrive from the new computer

I'm pretty sure you have to use Apple services/account to set up their devices too...

shutdown /r /f /t 00This is IMHO a collection of scripts to deal with the various manifestations of OneDrive, not unlike the collection of tutorials that Brink has. It is not the single script that eliminates OneDrive as if it never existed on a new computer.
I think you did not understand when i said maybe this script OP looking for, i never said this is the script.
Oh my bad anyhow like i said maybe.
WOW -- that's incredible! Awesome tip, thank you!Luckily, you can set up a local account using step 21 below during Windows Setup.
