Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.
I did that and it was a mess, with warnings about being unable to backup that I couldn’t get rid of. I had to reinstall to try to turn off syncing, then remove again. But it’s so integrated that my desktop is still under a OneDrive subfolder and it’s still referenced in various places.
Is there a guide to completely removing this from Windows 11 cleanly?
Until Microsoft takes that option away as well…
Or just reinstalls it in the next update.

It’s ltsc an option for 11 like it was for 10?
No idea but, after a quick search to learn what this is, I’m not sure how it would help were it to be an option.
