Hi NikolinoDE - I have the same issue - I'm on Windows 11, version 22H2. I went to gpedit as advised above but I don't have a folder called "Computer Configuration" to navigate to- do you know if there may be a different name for it?
PS - I hope MS tech team reads this: I am so so tired of Windows 11 changing my system without notice - every time they change a setting it costs me money - at least when it's new to me - last month it kept defaulting urls to open in Edge - which I don't want - and it took me ages and ages to try and find the problem. Eventually I paid my IT support service £36 to find it for me. Please stop pushing Microsoft defaults on us!

Any more on this please, anyone? I have just realised this thread is addressing Windows 11 Pro users whereas I have Windows Home. So probably that means I am stuck with this. Grrrr!
- Rich_Simpsrich123-SueMar 07, 2024Copper ContributorI am on Windows 11 Pro. I tried Methods 1 & 2 and both failed. Number 1 did not have OneDrive in the lists of apps. Number 2 failed because there was no HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6} in my registry. I've tried every possible instruction to remove and/or disable "OneDrive - Personal" at the top of the Save As. I REALLY WANT TO GET RID OF ONEDRIVE! HELP - HELP- HELP. I have never purposely put anything on cloud & I don't intend to do now. Do I need to Unix or Linux, or???? I've been with MS Windows for more than 45 years. The reason I stayed with MS is I hated Apple because everything was "locked down". It was either the "apple way or the highway". Why would MS want to make an operating system that acted like an Apple device. MAKE ME HAPPY MICROSOFT. I don't make me pay for something I don't need. I have my own personal cloud. Fix this problem or give me a workaround.
