If I elect to turn OFF OneDrive at startup, when will it come back on? Or do I manually have to turn it back on?

    Hello! My name is Abdullah, and I will assist you today.

    I am sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue. Normally, if you would like the OneDrive should be syncing all of your files automatically and keep them uploaded to the cloud, let it be Enabled on the startup. If you have disabled it on the startup, you can open it by opening it from the Start, type OneDrive and open it.

    Thank you.

    Best,

    Abdullah

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I see. As stated in my previous reply, if it is disabled from the Startup apps, once you restart or turn on the computer, it will not open since it is disabled. You will need to open it manually by:

    1. Clicking the Search box in the taskbar, type OneDrive and choose to open.
    2. The OneDrive app will then open.

    Please check the screenshot attached.

    Thank you.

    I am not experiencing any issue. My question was: "If I elect to turn OFF OneDrive at startup, when will it come back on? Or do I manually have to turn it back on?"

    Absolutely NOT! Why would ANYONE want an app to take over your PC. On Steam I set it to not show up though it's hidden you have to click a few places to even reach it. I wish OneDrive would stop opening up each time there's an update or I restart Windows even if the setting is 'hidden' in a jerk like maneuver. That would be better than nothing.
