OneDrive integration in Windows reality pisses me off. I shouldn't have to do so much modification to windows to get it to stop starting up. But then again I have some crazy bad luck when it comes to computers. I've worked in computers for almost 3 decades and no one reports having issues like I do. My colleagues admit that I may be cursed. Either way I think windows is pushing things a bit too much. No one should have to modify the registry or have to go through command line/powershell just to stop being nagged. The last few times I have gone into the task manager and disabled them on start up they get turned on again after Microsoft pushes an update hence why I'm using the simple wall firewall app. What is a non story for you just might not be for others. And that could be a simple thing like you being in a different update channel. I'm not sure but I think updates can also be affected by your location/geography data. Either way I don't doubt I'm going to be shamed and told I'm a fool so...
