    OneDrive adding "Uninstall" to Windows 7 Startup. Why?


    I am running Windows 7 Pro x64 with Microsoft OneDrive (SkyDrive) and the program keeps adding the following entries to the startup.

    HKCU_RUNONCE
    Uninstall c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\17.0.4035.0328_1

    A week ago was the first entry and now I have

    HKCU_RUNONCE
    Uninstall c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\17.0.4035.0328_2
    HKCU_RUNONCE
    Uninstall c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\17.0.4035.0328_3
    ......
    HKCU_RUNONCE
    Uninstall c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\SkyDrive\17.0.4035.0328_5

    Anyone know what is causing this? I don't get any Error messages or anything standing out in the Log files.

    Thanks

    Ignore the offer to sign in & remove OneDrive.

Hi guys, Here's the scenario. A while ago I was using Windows XP Pro on my laptop. I was then forced to switch completely to Windows 7, but because I had so many application and configurations done on the XP, I created a VHD from it (using this) before replacing it. Now, I want to know if its...
