turn off microsoft onedrive running in background

“Magic” key to let it all work, even the first time a user logs in: Īfter applying all the keys it worked fine, as shown in the screenshot below. 'OneDrive'='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft OneDrive\OneDrive.exe /background'

I searched the internet on forums and found out that a lot of other people are facing the same problems, even within on-premises Citrix environments.Īfter some searching on the Microsoft and Citrix tech forums and testing I was able to solved the problem by applying the following registry keys via a GPO policy to the Windows Virtual Desktop environment įor silent Account Config and Files On Demand: When starting a RemoteApp, for example WordPad and open File > Open, OneDrive is visible on the left site, but no account is configured as shown in the screenshot below.įor applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, this is not a problem because OneDrive is built-in, but for all other non-Microsoft Office applications this is really a problem. However, when configuring those settings, everything was working fine in a full published desktop, but not in a Windows Virtual Desktop RemoteApp. I know that with some GPO settings / registry keys you can configure silent sign-in and Files on-demand (recommended within environments like Windows Virtual Desktop). Not a very exceptional situation if you ask me. Recently I had a use case where a customer uses Windows Virtual Desktop with RemoteApps, and files had to be opened and saved on the user’s OneDrive within these applications.
