Hello everyone,

I often encounter the issue of MS word renaming files automatically with some numbers. In order not to lose my files, I have to rename them before shutting down my PC. Please how do I cancel this feature? Any idea?

    Thanks all for your suggestions! I have later found a solution by simply uninstalling OneDrive app from my PC.

    See what happens with documents saved to a non-synchonized location on your hard drive.
