After clicking through multiple Windows support pages (signed in, by the way), I still can't find any way to contact Windows support about One Drive. I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Yesterday on my desktop, little brown box icons appeared on each of my desktop shortcut icons and files. Is One Drive doing this? I did not enable One Drive on my PC. I do not want One Drive to operate on my PC. Did One Drive copy my files? I can't find any answers from Microsoft Support. Can anyone here please help me? Thank you.
