Solved My 'desktop' apps are now on Onedrive. WHY??

Went to use DDU in safemode and the icon was 'generalized' meaning it wasn't the usual DDU icon. Tried to select it and got the message it wasn't available. Looked at properties and it resides on users\xxxxx\onedrive\desktop. I just used it last week from safemode and it worked OK. How the heck did it get to onedrive? I check a lot of my icons and they're over there, too. What goes on and how can I keep them from onedrive?

Just did some checking and some icons are on c:\users\xxxx\onedrive\desktop and some are on c:\users\public\desktop.

Was wondering because I would be browsing something and want to save, for example, a picture on my desktop but when I looked for it, it wasn't there.

How can I make Windows save it to my regular desktop, not Onedrive?

If you are using a MS account, I believe you will find your desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders are all in onedrive. Right click on each folder. Select properties, location tab to verify. If you want them to be located in your user folder, follow this tutorial. Turn On or Off OneDrive Folder Backup Syncing Across Windows 11 Devices Tutorial

Great. Wish MS would have had some notification that my desktop would suddenly go to Onedrive but I got it back. Thanks.
