    @iiCozyAnja Basically that says the same thing I said - don't use onedrive and don't start onedrive at boot. The other thing the post talks about is moving the folder - all that is is a gui for symbolic link. These are techniques not for the casual Windows user. If you don't understand what is happening this could complicate future troubleshooting and other programs may not work correctly. Many people today have no idea how the operating system works. They turn on the computer and play games and have no idea how the magic works.

    @roberta591 so I've uninstalled the game completely and now I'm reinstalling (I've deleted folders and registry items from a guide)
