• Patch lady – Defender and one drive

    Posted on September 5, 2018 at 21:52 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Patch Lady here – while I do appreciate Microsoft’s insistence to ensure we have multiple ways to back up our data, it does get a bit annoying when every time in 1803 that I am reminded to set up Onedrive to backup my data.  I have a full drive backup and also use Azure to backup my data.  When I would hit ‘dismiss’ and make the defender icon happy (get rid of the yellow !), it would come back the next time I rebooted my pc.

    I would dismiss it from the system tray and then it would be back the next reboot.

    Disabling onedrive in windows explorer didn’t work for me  (see this zdnet post) which was my first try to disable it.  I finally got rid of it was to open up settings, update and security, windows security, virus and threat protection, and dismiss the one drive THERE. Dismissing it outside in the task bar didn’t work for me.
