OneDrive not running automatically on Windows 10 because of Registry setting

1

Every time I reboot Windows 10 the registry setting

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive

Is reset by windows 10 to value

DisableFileSyncNGSC = DWORD:1

Which means that OneDrive does not run until I manually change the Registry DWORD setting back to zero.

Is there a way to permanently set this Registry value to zero so OneDrive runs without intervention?

Is this machine connected to an Active Directory domain by chance? – Ramhound – 2019-06-18T14:31:19.090

Is Group Policy setting the regkey back? – spikey_richie – 2019-06-18T14:43:04.863

Hi. This is a home machine that is not part of a Windows domain. – Clive Long – 2019-06-18T15:09:29.657

I bet you guys are on the right path. Try running "GPEDIT.MSC", navigate to Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | OneDrive, Then check out the settings.. specifically "Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage" – Señor CMasMas – 2019-06-18T15:48:01.747

@Senor CMasMas . Gpedit.msc fixed the problem. Can you post as an answer and I will accept it? – Clive Long – 2019-06-18T19:36:10.473

Thank you @CliveLong. :) I am glad that worked. – Señor CMasMas – 2019-06-18T20:42:46.393

Try running "GPEDIT.MSC"

First, navigate to:

Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | OneDrive

Then check out the settings.. specifically:

  • Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage
