I have a brand new Windows 11 laptop with a recurring problem. I am not a fan of OneDrive. So, I uninstalled it soon after I purchased the laptop.
Now, I see a problem. With each Windows 11 update, Microsoft reinstalls the OneDrive without my permission. Can you tell me how to tell Microsoft that I do not want OneDrive on my Windows 11 device?

Cannot Remove OneDrive
Microsoft forces everyone to install bloatware while installing the Windows 11 Operating System. It is not so great for users with less technical skills. OneDrive is one among them.
