Uninstall OneDrive, problem solved.
You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.
It was easy for me, and has never come back. Then again, a lot of the fear mongering I see about windows has never been my experience with it.
I uninstalled onedrive with Geek Uninstaller on several of company PCs and none of it had come back.
*Uninstall Windows, problem solved.
