Has anyone been able to move onedrive as described in the tutorial?

no, it doesn't seem to be. I moved it to D: but it still exists at C:. And when I upload files from D: to OneDrive.live they quickly appear back in C:, which is what I wanted to avoid because of...

Brink, I can't recall if I did. But I did notice in the various things I tried that "relocate or move onedrive" was offered and I selected it and was able to move "OD" to another location. And it was...

Brink, my mistake. I wrote pin instead of click. But that isn't what the problem was for me. It was when I tried to get the move drop down. It would not drop down and the entire home tab had turned ...

Same tutoial just my lack of attention. I'm talling about item 5, where we are to "select onedrive, pin it to quick access and select "moveto" I apologise for my lack of attention to...

You may be right Margrave. But I hate google (polidtics and privacy) so i'll try to get onedrive working for me before I bow down to lord google.

Yes, that tutorial.

Sending large amount of music files to onedrive was quickly filling up my 120gb ssd C: drive. Tried to change location of onedrive per tutorial in customization area. Got to "pin onedrive to quick...

Commander,
If it were the active partition would booting to repair then to command line and doing the MBR BOOT REPAIR AND BOOT/FIX correct things?

thanks for reply. I'm hoping to get more inputs before I take any action but I will explore your suggestion.

Win10 Vol4?
Recently finished upgrade install from 8.1 pro to win10; all seemed normal but I did not turn system protection on, ergo no win 10 restore point but do have win 8.1 restore point.

You're right. MBAM is not a sub and I've turned defender back on. Activity is apparently related to the indexing function and has calmed down for now.

Thanks again. I have turned MBAM on and Defender off. Past experience leads me to believe MBAM is the better bet.
