I guess after reading some of the comments, I'll leave it alone.

the problem is that OneDrive is not just a simple default app. It handles syncing of various other features and other jobs. Microsoft engineers depend on it being enabled, hence why they made it stupid crazy hard to remove. I happen to agree with your sentiment but windows 10 does not. Like I said. You are setting yourself and your readers for headaches down the road. If you PC can’t handle a that simple process running either upgrade your PC or don't run windows 10.

I always right click the icon in notifications and open settings. You can change the option in settings that loads OneDrive at boot. After that I right click the icon again and close OneDrive. I know that doesn't remove the app from Windows, but it keeps OneDrive from loading to memory, unless you manually start the app.

Thank you, it worked. Much easier than the other crud I was trying.
