Re: Remove "Start back up" in File Explorer new Windows 11 update
I was able to get rid of the button like this:
- Open **RegEdit**
- Go to `HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StorageProvider\OneDrive`
- Remove or rename the key `StorageProviderKnownFolderSyncInfoSourceFactory`
**Edit:** This works instantly, but the key is recreated after reboot. You can prevent this by denying write permissions to the key:
-
In the left pane, right-click on the **OneDrive** key and then click **Permissions**. In the dialog click **Advanced**.
-
**Add** a new access entry for user **Everyone** of type **Deny**. Under **Advanced Permissions** just select **Set Value**.
Only other solution for me was uninstalling OneDrive. The option 1 by @cam-ashton doesn't seem to work with latest Windows 11 (23H2) anymore.
