Onedrivesetup.exe 100% CPU
Hello! I'm already aware of the problems with updating onedrive with non-English user names, I have a slightly different problem. My user name is completely in English, and onedrive updates normally (recently updated to version 17.3.7076.1026), but when the update happens it takes ~100% CPU usage while doing it (Onedrivesetup.exe process). The auto start is turned off and I do not use this cloud storage at all, althoug it keeps updating. There was no such a problem in the past - it appeared somewhere in summer. Recently i did clean installation of W10 and it didn't help. So what should i do?
Windows 10 Home, 1709 Fall Creators Update, build 16299.19

Hey hesoyam,
Check Task Scheduler .... OneDrive adds a task (OneDrive Stand Alone Update Task) for each user that runs periodically and possibly at startup. Since you're not using OneDrive, right click on the task and disable it for each user.

I tried One Drive. Terrible performance and poor reliability.
So I deleted it. I converted it to No Drive.
I use Google Drive instead. Works better. Much. Very reliable.

I used to love Onedrive and it's predecessors as it and MS would give you options/chances to increase the storage size. At one point I had 150 GB worth of storage and used it. Then MS started dorking around with it and over time left removed the extra storage. From that point on I refuse to use Onedrive.
I just disable Onedrive. Just right click the icon, choose settings and turn off and exit. I'm never bothered with it.

A bit late, but for the reference. Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:
