Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service is installed on your PC by default, and it can cause some trouble when playing PC games on multiple devices.

I see a few notable ways to account for this:

  1. Delete all data in OneDrive and uninstall it. It can’t sync crud if it doesn’t exist.

  2. Do not use a Microsoft account with Windows. Microsoft makes this annoying, unfortunately.

  3. Use Linux. The first games he mentions are Read Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla which both have gold status for Linux on ProtonDB

Realistically none of these should be required, but Microsoft has been driving Windows downhill for years now. This problem can snuggle with the piles of other ways Microsoft has been making their OS worse.

Linux did the trick for me. They remove bugs instead of introducing them usually

Linux did the trick for me. I grew tired of Microsoft’s dark patterns and made the switch. It’s been almost 2 years now. Best decision ever.
