MikeWWW Thank you for your reply.
1. Both computer are running Windows 10. For computer B, there are 4 OneDrive specific options in the context menu of the symbol in the explorer navigation pane: 1. Show online, 2. Settings, 3. Always keep on this device, 4. Free up space (may not correspond word by word to your equivalent words, as I translate it from German to English). Under none of these options is a sub-option "Manage backup" like under the Settings of computer A.
2. Both computers are my personal ones. Using my own domain, I pay for OneDrive for business, but I have not implemented any restrictions. I am really not understanding why it's not showing the "Manage backup" option in computer B. It should be the same.

Hi Mike,
That's a great advice! The change in the registry mentioned unter the link you provided, worked like a charm after restarting. The "Manage backup" tab is where it should be on computer B. The issue has been resolved.
Thanks a lot!
