What it changes

Runs OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall from the OneDrive installation.

Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.

Why it helps

Removes the OneDrive client, its startup entry and background syncing.

Trade-offs

Syncing stops. Files already downloaded stay in your OneDrive folder; online-only files remain in the cloud only. Reinstall from microsoft.com/onedrive.

Evidence

Strong evidenceExpected impact:Small

Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is small (1 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.

Is it in a pack?

No. Packs only contain Safe tweaks, and this one is labelled Caution.

How to undo

This change is one-way. Nexus records it, but can't put it back. Syncing stops. Files already downloaded stay in your OneDrive folder; online-only files remain in the cloud only. Reinstall from microsoft.com/onedrive.
