Windows 10: Win 11, rysen 5 desktop, update turned on OneDrive sync,. desktop disappeared, app...

I don't even know what to ask.Deleted the OneDrive app. 2 hours downloading files with the online page and unzipping files as the desktop was the taskbar and recycle bin only, black screen otherwise. Desktop is still not looking right so what am I missing, that is, what did OneDrive delete and not save a copy of other than the folder with the complete Battlestar Galactica 1978 complete series? I still have the DVD to re-rip. I never had the OneDrive icon next to the taskbar clock until it over filled. Free account.The last 3 - 4 updates have all deleted my background picture. Does nobody beta

Why is OneDrive trying to sync my entire desktop?

Why is OneDrive trying to sync my entire desktop? Is Windows 11 like this too? Who thought this was a good idea? Why do all my folders disappear when I try to turn it off? Why can't I turn it back on?

 

desktop sync

Hi Tim

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

If you sign into both devices with the same Microsoft Account, and you use OneDrive on both systems, then OneDrive will sync your Desktops by default, you can go into the settings of OneDrive and remove the Desktop folder form the list of synced folders

Also, open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Accounts - Sync Your Settings

Turn off all options on that page

Restart your Surface . . .

 

About my desktop and onedrive syncing

Sorry for my bad English

I log in my student onedrive on my laptop, than choose sync, include my desktop. A line appears like my desktop folder and my onedrive folder are in the same place: This PC -> (C -> Users -> [my name] -> Onedrive folder and desktop folder. So I move my onedrive folder to (D, than it is able to sync my desktop folder to onedrive.

The problem is, when I download file using default location, it is still the old Desktop in (C. I download it and it didn't appear on my real desktop, I go to the desktop folder in (C and there is only the file i have downloaded, all my file (still appear on my real desktop) disappear in this folder. I have to change the download location to the Desktop in my Onedrive folder in (D and everything go smooth, no problem. Than I turn off sync my desktop to my onedrive

The fact that my real desktop (The desktop that i access on monitor) is through my onedrive, is it dangerous if i log out or disconnect my onedrive with my laptop.

I want everything to come back like before syncing. I want my desktop is still in (C. How can I do it?
