Remove "Start backup" from File Explorer
This is just to test.
This is just to test and verify if that is causing this behavior.
I advise you to file a report in the Feedback Hub app and report this concern.
When you click on this application - you can uncheck it after successively disable the backup of settings and other folders, have you tried to do that?
- That "Backup" application seems merely to be an (weak) alternative front-end/dashboard for the Account "Sync your settings" and OneDrive's folder backup (very weak). Any real configuration seems to still be done through those.
Microsoft is doing exactly the same as other IT giants - it saves the characteristics of the devices and their settings in the cloud to quickly and without errors synchronize all devices logged in with a Microsoft account - that is, making improvements ->that have been working well for a long time on other operating systems.
- Disabling backup does nothing.
I reported this to Feedback Hub, but hoping there's some workaround now, like some registry key I can edit. Nothing I do in Onedrive or Backup settings removes that ad "Start backup"Windows Settings -> Notifications and Actions -> Disable system notifications, or try disabling other notifications from system settings.
