Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself
This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.
CassowaryTom, I dont think thats new. I havent fucked with windows in like 3 years and I remember also being annoyed by that.
joyjoy, What’s next? Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.
They already do this in Windows Server. Every unscheduled shutdown and restart requires a reason so it can be properly audited.
BURN, As the other commenter said, this is a good precaution to have in a server OS. My FreeNAS/TrueNAS setup also require that.
For consumer OS, no it’s less than ideal, but for enterprise users it’s a very good feature to have
billiam0202, Which is logical for an enterprise-level application.
For a consumer-level app, this is balls.
joyjoy, Unless of course you don’t actually own your PC. That’s what Microsoft wants. Soon, they might make it so you can’t install other OSes.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 
I'm sure that'll be fun for the IT guys.
"Why is our website down?!? What do I pay you people for?!"
"Sir, the subscription for our server OS wasn't paid because the company card was declined."
dynamojoe, They’re training an internal AI on documents in OneDrive, I bet.
zipzoopaboop, One drive invasiveness plus a ruined context menu are why I don’t want win 11
killeronthecorner, 
Select other. Paste in Ulysses. Submit.
Bishma, 
My onedrive password expired on my work (and only windows) machine 2 years ago. I have never updated it, and that seems like a really good decision in retrospect.
Mr_nutter_butter, Another reason to use the not for consumer ltsc then
Imgonnatrythis, Shit. I really I hope “fuck you, I do what I want.” is an option?
wert_straffer, Just wait for OneDrive to crash. Wont take long.
HubertManne, 
Im ready for it. I just canceled comcast!
Mereo, (edited ) Thank god I switched to Linux on my Desktop. And I also have a Macbook and I love it. I guess I can consider myself a Unix guy.
