Windows 10: Stop Onedrive from restoring files and only upload

Hey, I am running into an issue with my onedrive. I do a lot of pc gaming and programming. I love Microsoft, but it seems windows 11 has gotten far more complicated.... Everytime I download a mod for my game, say like Sims 4, the files are backed up on my onedrive account, which is amazing, but the only down fall is, they won't work until they are uploaded on Onedrive. For example:I download some custom content for sims 4. I then moved the C.C. to a different drive, I'm OCD and have to have my files in a particular order, I then will copy the C.C. to my mods folder, I keep a copy of the mod

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.
