Cant guarantee same on windows 11, only brought it up once to get updates since in installed it, but on multiple windows 10 machines i refused to even set up one drive, it keeps asking me to "complete the setup", an I keep saying "ask me next week". Carey

Did you choose to put your Windows 11's Desktop on OneDrive? Or, does it do that by default, with no option to keep it local?
I accidentally put my Windows 10's Desktop on OneDrive. It asked me if I want "online backup", and I said "Yes", believing it would do backup. What it ended up doing is, it moved my Desktop to OneDrive, and replaced local content with links to OneDrive.
Imagine my surprise, when I cleaned up OneDrive, and found stuffs were also gone locally. Yeah, I turned off "online backup".
