How did my Save As page change? (Word, Windows 10)

Anonymous

Since I got my computer years ago, when I clicked "Save As", my Desktop and recently used folders were the list of options. The past 3 - 4 days, instead of the usual locations, it's One Drive.

I DID NOT change things so how did this happen and how can I change it back. It is a true pain in my butt to have to click a bunch of stuff just to get to my Desktop.!

Every time Windows updates, something I didn't want to happen, happens. The ONLY other time this happened was back when Microsoft sabotages Windows XP. Seriously wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Should I try to repost? Or is there any way to delete old replies?

    I would suggest that you leave the old messages the way they are.

    Since there have been months since this thread was created, I recommend that you post a new question. Use the Ask a new question link at the top of the forums page.

    Explain briefly what you have tried so far. You may want to add a link to an old thread of yours.

    The Unlink this PC option seems promising. This is mentioned in the article to which I posted a link in a previous reply:

    Somewhere in the folder list (the navigation pane on the far left), you should be able to find OneDrive as one of the locations.

    Also, your screen shot does not show the taskbar at the bottom of the Windows desktop. Is it not displayed on your system by default?
