One Drive Keeps Opening
I have OneDrive disabled from starting when turning on my PC as I don't use it, but for some reason it started to pop up when I work with some programs and browse files. I'm not sure how to explain this properly, but for example when I click 'insert media file' in a program and a new window opens up where I can browse through files, this also pops up:Apart from that OneDrive appears in the tray.

If I close it in tray and repeat the process it opens up again. It happens with other programs too, so it's not the programs fault.
How can I block it? It started one day all of a sudden, probably due to some Windows update. I'm surprised to say it doesn't work. For something so simple, this is really one stubborn little nonsense.
I tried downloading the file and doing it manually too (and yes I rebooted PC after one of each). To further explain what's going on, here are some print screens:No OneDrive active, not in the tray or anywhere:Opening file in OpenOffice (it's happening in other programs too, it's just an example):OneDrive window appears and icon in the tray appears too:If I close OneDrive in the tray the whole process repeats itself. It's almost forcing you to have it in the tray and on startup doing this. I don't know if something is messed up, or is it just simply some 'genius' Windows update. It wasn't like that a few weeks ago.
You said you don't use OneDrive. I recommend uninstalling it. I understand the reasoning behind wanting to keep it, but are you ever really going to use it?I have uninstalled it on all 3 of my Win10 systems.

I got an error so I ran the uninstall once again, then I was able to re-install it).I can't predict how difficult it will be to re-install for everyone, but I was just able to do it. Also, it could be re-installed at any time by a Windows Update or installation of another Microsoft product, but I like I said above, I haven't had that problem. If you really need it later on and it's impossible to reinstall, you might have to reinstall Windows.If interested in uninstalling it, go to bottom of page:https://www.howtogeek.com/225973/how-to-disable-onedrive-and-remove-it-from-file-explorer-on-windows-10/.
