  1. Can't uninstall One Drive

    AI suggested I rename that so it didn't activate. I guess it's the same thing.
  2. Can't uninstall One Drive

    Well so far I’ve found that with a clean install of either windows 10 or 11 with a local account, if you uninstall it, it is completely gone. Although there is still a one drive empty folder in c drive. However you have to find it! Sometimes it’s in control panel programs and not in the apps...
  3. Can't uninstall One Drive

    Thanks - yes that didn't work for me as it wasn't in the apps list - but it was in control panel. I'm not planning on signing in with a microsoft account on this machine so it should stay uninstalled - unless I install office. It's a spare laptop so I don't plan to. And the wifi issue was...
  4. Can't uninstall One Drive

    Yes installing any Office definitely reinstalls it - had that before. But I just uninstalled it again. But that was previously - it seems a bit different on 23H2 and 24H2. Anyway it's uninstalled now and the only thing left is the one drive folder in c drive. Which is presumably where it...
  5. Can't uninstall One Drive

    Ok I'll go back to where I started in this thread. When clean installing Windows 11 23H2 (or 24H2) with a local account - One Drive is NOT THERE TO UNINSTALL in the list of apps. It only shows in the start menu program list - if you right click on that and select uninstall, it takes you back...
  6. Can't uninstall One Drive

    Just as an update - I gave up on that - and am reinstalling Windows 11 24H2 on the spare laptop. So - @glasskuter - the first thing I should do is unlink one drive and then uninstall it right? But - I have set up with a local account - so presumably there is nothing to unlink? Can I just...
  7. How many obsolete computers after October

    My route was to buy a "new to me" second hand 10th generation laptop quite cheap :-) When my old laptop packed up. When that packed up (my own fault), I bought an identical model even cheaper! When another identical model came up I got that too, so I have a spare. It's a pretty basic Core i5...
  8. How many obsolete computers after October

    Cathode Ray tube - always really liked those words :-)
  9. Win Update KB5060829 Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview build 26100.4484 (24H2) - June 26

    I thought it meant it was supported UNTIL next year? :unsure: And you had to update before June 2026 to keep it updated. Or did I read it wrong?!
  10. Win Update KB5060829 Windows 11 Cumulative Update Preview build 26100.4484 (24H2) - June 26

    "Microsoft urges you to stay calm as it doesn’t loosen your system security mechanisms, and it is a harmless error code that shouldn’t be there." (re firewall) https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/07/03/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-kb5060829-issues-but-you-can-safely-ignore-it/
  11. Let's install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware

    Yes I use rufus too :-) I guess the command might be useful if someone already has Windows 11 on usb via the Microsoft website and doesn't want to burn a new one (or hasn't downloaded the iso to computer).
  12. How to block Windows Update from installing an old Intel Iris driver

    I think this was a tip from @Bree (correct me if I'm wrong). To install the new driver. Then when Windows reverts back to the old one, right click on it and open properties and select "roll back driver" and it should roll back to the new one - and stay there hopefully! That did work for me on...
  13. Let's install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware

    I just read this on ten forums - maybe it's old news? If so sorry! "typing "start ms-cxh:localonly" into the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup experience will allow you to create a local account directly without needing to skip connecting to the internet first."...

    Microsoft also sell their own computers!
