I've never heard of this, did you connect every ms software in the laptop to your ms account when you first booted the laptop?

Saved from what? Your browser? The application controls where things get saved, not your OS.

I believe what OP is talking about is a Windows 11 thing, aka Windows Xi, the OS of choice for glowies and Chinese collaborators.

Seeing as you seem to know everything about Windows 11 despite having never used it, it seems mean of you to not tell OP the answer.

Please, shut up. Even if I hadn't used Windows 11, I wouldn't need to to know how much of a hellscape it is.
>it seems mean of you to not tell OP the answer.
It's called bumping the thread so that it doesn't die while I'm doing research and compiling a set of working answers.

OP, I'm not sure if it works on Win 11, but there's a Windows debloater called Wu10Man (https://github.com/WereDev/Wu10Man/releases/tag/v4.3.0) that can get rid of OneDrive if I recall correctly. Otherwise, try one of the following

>TEMPORARY SOLUTION
Go into task manager and head to the Startup tab. Find OneDrive in that list (Could be under the name Microsoft OneDrive, Windows OneDrive, or just OneDrive.) and set the startup status to Disabled.

>LESS THAN TEMPORARY SOLUTION 1
Windows will probably revert these changes after any update, so it'd do you good to write a simple batch script to run after each update.
Go into gpedit.msc and head to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\OneDrive\ and begin purging/editing the settings to your hearts content. If you aren't able to do this, you might have to elevate your user account to TRUSTEDINSTALLER level.

>LESS THAN TEMPORARY SOLUTION 2
Open regedit and go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive\. Create a 32-bit value called DisableFileSyncNGSC and set the value to 1. If the OneDrive key doesn't exist yet, create it yourself.

Thx 4 teh epic bait and thanks for the (You)
The browser doesn't save stuff to OneDrive as OP states though, OneDrive just automatically copies all downloaded files to itself on Windows 11 and the later updates of Windows 10.
and the "janky script" isn't even a script, plus it has public source code. If you don't trust it then read the source yourself.

Have you considered about using OS instead of spyware?
