Duplicate OneDrive Folders After Clean Install


Question

Hello All

I have a little problem--Duplicate Onedrive folders after a clean install,  Ei.cfg didn't work to install Windows 11 Pro Directly, so i had to login to MS store, and hit upgrade in there after the original install

 

Except now i got duplicate Onedrive folders on PC Admin account (i switched that back to Local Admin account) and my Standard user account is one i wanna use with Microsoft account, and use Onedrive on

 

How do i fix this?

Do i just unlink it from Admin account later? or Reset it as well 

And do i need to unlink from User with Microsoft Account as well?  then resetup?  

 

First time i ever had issue like this, previously my old system always installed Pro directly during the install, i never had it where it detected Home, and autoly installed that, maybe cause last system was custom built and not Prebuilt?

 

Guess i should've created the User account/with Microsoft account, then did the upgrade to Pro right away after the clean install

Try unlinking OneDrive, which probably won't work so drill down to 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

in RegEdit, and delete the duplicate entry for OneDrive. Hopefully it won't come back after a reboot.

Yes I ended up doing the regedit method, hopefully doesn't come back after a reboot,

Guess will see on that part later today

Unlinking and restarting did not help at all

Well after a restart,   unforuately came back lol---now shows  the following

Is there a better way in the future when i eventually upgrade Main M.2 Drive for a better one to be immediately on Windows 11 Pro after a clean install?       Keep in Mind PC was a Prebuilt from Ibuypower, so maybe there isn't a way , and i'll just have to do the clean install,  then create my 2nd account, then add Microsoft Account to set one,  then upgrade thru MS Store,  instead of signing in on PC Admin account  

If it matters any used Rufus to create the Boot Flash Drive for Windows 11 This time,  guess maybe i should've stuck to Media creation tool,  then i could've done the oobe bypass to skip internet requirement, entered Local account info,  added microsoft account after install,  upgraded to Windows 11 Pro,   then added my usual PC Admin account as local for Admin tasks afterwards  Doh,   well next time can do it this way and avoid any problems

 

Current Main M.2 Boot Drive is Kingston NV 2 1TB 

eventually may replace with a Samsung model for Main Boot & If possible secondary Game M.2 in the future

Don't see an Unpin option unforuately or i would totally do that 

 

Well guess can live with it, til Christmas when i get my new Boot M.2 Drive, and then gonna make this current one Game M.2 til possibly February birthday then may replace with either a Samsung, Western digital, Crucial branded drive, or Kingston Fury,  depending on whichever Boot M.2 is

Rather just run 1 Management software if i can lol 

Unless i ask Onedrive support on what to do lol,  is another option i can try when i got time on this matter

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
