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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm sorry to hear that the previous solution didn't work for you. Another way to change the default save location from OneDrive to your local disk in Windows 10 is by following these steps:

    1. Right-click on the Start button in the bottom left corner of your screen.
    2. Click on System.
    3. Click on Storage.
    4. Click on Change where new content is saved. https://support.forever.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049072052-How-to-Disable-Windows-10-from-using-OneDrive-as-the-default-save-location-. Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.'

    After following these steps, you should be able to change the default save location for your files back to your computer. I hope this helps!

    That's how it used to be but, as I said originally, it doesn't come up like that anymore no matter what I do.
