- Thanks, that's interesting link. This issue is separate I think, as mine is related to Edge keeping a lock on file saved on OneDrive, and trying to download it even when I don't want to.
I managed to make it stop, I guess. I tried to open another site, chose to upload a file, and navigated to C:\Temp where a random photo was saved. Uploaded it. So far, that popup haven't come back.- Well that's good,
Idk why Edge would need to be closed for OneDrive to stop downloading, that's weird- I think Edge is keeping file open, which it shouldn't. OneDrive thinks Edge needs it, so starts background download.
