Microsoft 最近对 OneDrive for Windows 11 的更新在某些用户的初始设置过程中自动启用了文件夹备份。这意味着桌面图片、文档、音乐和视频等文件夹在未经明确同意的情况下进行了同步。虽然自动文件夹备份可能很有帮助，但许多人发现这种意外行为令人困惑，因为安装后出现了大量快捷方式。喜欢手动控制备份的用户可以禁用此功能。为此： 1. 在系统托盘中找到 OneDrive 图标。 2. 单击齿轮符号进行设置。 3. 导航到“设置”>“同步和备份”选项卡。 4. 在“备份”部分中，通过关闭文件夹来管理文件夹。确认更改。对于使用具有选项卡式界面的较旧 OneDrive 版本的用户，请转到“备份”，选择“管理备份”，停止正在进行的备份。微软因在软件更新中实施有争议的策略而闻名，此前包括要求在关闭 OneDrive 之前解释原因，并询问用户是否选择下载竞争浏览器。对于那些喜欢替代解决方案的人来说，禁用或卸载 OneDrive 仍然是一种选择。

由于担心软件干扰，一名国际象棋棋手在最近的一场比赛中每天都要求购买新电脑。他的团队每天都必须拆箱机器，在比赛开始前留出一个多小时的时间进行 Windows 更新。另一种建议是在闪存驱动器上携带操作系统，或者使用 Linux 发行版来玩国际象棋游戏。笔者尝试从 Ubuntu 切换到 Wayland 的经历揭示了一些挑战，包括难以调整显示颜色、缺乏全屏共享以及需要专门针对 Wayland 修改某些程序。尽管存在这些障碍，与笔记本电脑之前安装的 Windows 相比，Wayland 仍提供了卓越的图形性能。作者感叹管理OneDrive设置的不便，之前已经删除了应用程序和相关目录。现在无法删除同步文件，它们仍然作为过去关系的提醒。作者对微软和苹果表示失望，他们更喜欢 Linux 等自我管理系统，因为它可以提供更大的控制力和灵活性。微软因不断推送更新和要求过多的权限而受到批评，导致用户严重依赖命令行界面来维护所需的配置。相比之下，Linux 需要大量的故障排除和手动配置才能实现最佳功能。这两种操作系统都面临着独特的挑战，导致作者质疑微软开发 Windows 11 的意图，并对该公司专注于提供侵入性广告和未经请求的应用程序表示不满。

The Microsoft OneDrive Logo

Microsoft has made OneDrive slightly more annoying for Windows 11 users. Quietly and without any announcement, the company changed Windows 11's initial setup so that it could turn on the automatic folder backup without asking for it.

Now, those setting up a new Windows computer the way Microsoft wants them to (in other words, connected to the internet and signed into a Microsoft account) will get to their desktops with OneDrive already syncing stuff from folders like Desktop Pictures, Documents, Music, and Videos. Depending on how much is stored there, you might end up with a desktop and other folders filled to the brim with shortcuts to various stuff right after finishing a clean Windows installation.

Automatic folder backup in OneDrive is a very useful feature when used properly and when the user deliberately enables it. However, Microsoft decided that sending a few notification prompts to enable folder backup was not enough, so it just turned the feature on without asking anybody or even letting users know about it, resulting in a flood of Reddit posts about users complaining about what the hell are those green checkmarks next to files and shortcuts on their desktops.

If you do not want your computer to back up everything on your desktop or other folders, here is how to turn the feature off (you can also set up Windows 11 in offline mode):

Right-click the OneDrive icon in the tray area, click the settings icon and then press Settings.
Go to the "Sync and Backup" tab and click "Manage backup."
Turn off all the folders you do not want to back up in OneDrive and confirm the changes.
If you have an older OneDrive version with the classic tabbed interface, go to the Backup tab and click Manage Backup > Stop backup > Stop backup.

Microsoft is no stranger to shady tricks with its software and operating system. Several months ago, we noticed that OneDrive would not let you close it without you explaining the reason first (Microsoft later reverted that stupid change). A similar thing was also spotted in the Edge browser, with Microsoft asking users why they downloaded Chrome.

As a reminder, you can always just uninstall OneDrive and call it a day.
