onedrive.cync.service.exe disable how?
How do I disable onedrive.cync.service.exe? I don't care why it runs. I want it to stop running automatically. I don't have onedrive one so why is this running?

Quick Method
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
- Find onedrive.cync.service.exe in the list
- Right-click it and select "End task"
- This stops it right now, but we need to prevent it from coming back
Permanent Remove the Service
Since the app isn't showing up normally, let's remove the service entirely:
- Press Windows Key + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (this runs Command Prompt as Administrator)
- If prompted by User Account Control, click "Yes"
- In the black window, type this command and press Enter:
sc stop "onedrive.cync.service"
4. Then type this command and press Enter:
sc delete "onedrive.cync.service"
This directly removes the service so it can't run again.
I hope this helps you
