Remove "Start backup" from File Explorer
Latest Windows 11 update shows this very annoying button, and can't find a way to remove it (I don't want to use this backup feature): Any PS script to disable this? Hope MS is working o...
It's infuriating. I can no longer drag a folder path from the address bar to create a shortcut. Plus now I wonder if I could accidentally mess up folder locations by hitting that dumb button. And finally it just adds visual clutter with something that has zero use for me. Bad move by MS.
- If it makes you feel a smidge better, hitting that button won't mess up folder locations. It takes you to the option of backing up which folders you want to back up. But see, I turned that off, a long time ago. And yet I still have that button. Long time when I turned it off, it got rid of that button. But this recent update brought it back and now I can't rid of it, as all the settings are already in place that it should have been gone.
- That does make me feel a smidge better, thanks. Still very much hate that button though. Incredible that they're mucking around with core functionality like an address bar for OneDrive ads. I'm really beginning to dislike MS. Feels like every other month I need to fight another customer-hostile move (news widgets that can't be disabled / web searches in start etc).
- Exactly. Hear that, Microsoft??
The thing is, I DO have OneDrive. But I don't want it linked. They're literally forcing us to use it.
