Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

How do I control the windows files security that OneDrive puts on files uploaded from an android device

Hi JohnJCAT

Thanks for getting back.

To further assist you, I suggest that you try these steps here.

1. Check if the you can open the file online on OneDrive.com?

2. To control the Windows file security that OneDrive puts on files uploaded from an Android device, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the "Pictures" folder and select "Properties".
   
2. Click on the "Security" tab.
   
3. Click on the "Advanced" button.
   
4. Check the box that says "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object".
   
5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.
   

This should ensure that the security on the files uploaded from your Android device to OneDrive will inherit the security from the "Pictures" folder on your Windows device.

Sincerely,
