    Well I’m not exactly sure which build of Windows 10 or Windows 11 this began, but I do know that this is now the norm, especially on Windows 11 which is what comes installed when somebody buys a windows computer. Or installs windows on a built computer if they don’t specifically have a reason to install 10.

    I’ve found forum posts about this issue dating back to 2019. It’s really annoying too because you can’t move the Documents folder out of One Drive without editing the registry.

      I guess I’m just lucky then. The laptops are all old enough that they wouldn’t have gotten hit with factory onedrive settings, 2 were windows 8.1 upgrades and one was an early windows 10 (before the creator update, or whatever that refresh was). And my desktop was just a clean installation from the Microsoft create boot media tool.
