Thanks for the reply. Could you clarify the solution: Enabling the setting "Prevent users from syncing personal OneDrive accounts" disables the ability for users to deselect the setting "Start OneDrive when I sign in to Windows"?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Enabling the "Prevent users from syncing personal OneDrive accounts" setting does not directly disable the ability for users to deselect the "Start OneDrive when I sign in to Windows" setting.
The "Prevent users from syncing personal OneDrive accounts" setting specifically prevents users from adding personal OneDrive accounts to the OneDrive desktop app. It focuses on restricting the synchronization of personal accounts alongside the organizational OneDrive for Business.
To prevent users from deselecting the "Start OneDrive when I sign in to Windows" setting, you need to use a different approach. One option is to use Group Policy settings or Intune policies to configure and enforce the desired OneDrive settings, including the automatic startup of OneDrive when users sign in to Windows.
By applying the appropriate Group Policy or Intune policies, you can ensure that the "Start OneDrive when I sign in to Windows" setting remains enabled and users cannot disable it. This approach provides more granular control over the specific behavior and configuration of OneDrive on users' devices.
