How do I completely disable OneDrive in Windows 11?

This is a great registry tweak to quickly disable onedrive on windows 11 without installing third-party blocking programs. It essentially lets you block automatic OneDrive reinstall via Windows Update in just a few simple registry edits, allowing you to permanently stop unwanted OneDrive restoration after uninstall.

Usage Guide: Press Win + R, type regedit to launch the Registry Editor, and then navigate to:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive.

If the OneDrive key is not found, right-click on Windows, select New > Key, and name it OneDrive.

Right-click in the blank space in the right pane, select New > DWORD Value, rename it to DisableFileSyncNGSC, double-click the entry, set the Value data to 1, and then save the changes.

This registry operation requires no additional software and can quickly help you completely disable onedrive on windows 11, effectively resolving the issue where Windows Updates automatically reinstall OneDrive.

It is particularly useful for users who have manually uninstalled OneDrive and want to avoid unexpected automatic recovery during system update or patch installation.
