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

    Which version of Windows are you running? The available Windows settings, and their locations, will depend on the version.

    You should be able to change the default save locations for Office applications from within Word (for example). That will be easier. See my previous reply.

    . You can also use the keyboard shortcut Win + I to immediately launch the Settings panel, then go to the system and then Storage. then Click on Change where new content is saved`.
